To the Dressel Families,
With a heart full of nothing but good memories of the days of when we all grew up on Berkeley Drive. It saddens me to hear about Jeff, but it also makes me happy that he is in good hands with God. Growing up on our block sure would not of been the same without all the fun Jeff brought to it. You are all in my prayers at this time. Remember that God loves you all and so do I.
