Dear Sister,

We are so very sad at the family's loss of Jeffrey. I had passed the sad news along to Paul in NV who passed it along to Corky in NY. We hope your grief is not insurmountable as such a loss is so very crushing on the spirit. We remember our last visit with Jeffery in Seattle with Erin, Kevin and Grandma when we spent most of the afternoon together after Erin's soccer tournament. Please know the you and Paul are thought of often.

Linda, Mr. and Mrs. Lown, and family,

Jeff was a good friend of mine while in the German Club at Virginia Tech. We stayed in touch for several years after graduation, but like so many friends, you lose touch after a while. I think the last time I saw Jeff was at my wedding.

Please accept my condolences. I was shocked and saddened to see his obituary. If you wouldn't mind, I would greatly appreciate a brief email to let me know what happened. I think I share these feelings with many of the German Club guys.

Again, I'm so sorry for your loss. I pray God will be with you and comfort you and your family during this time of loss.

Sincerely,

Alan Johnson
German Club - Class of 1979
