Dear Alaine.
I love you very much and wanted to tell you how very proud your Dad and I are of the way you and Jeff lived through his cancer. We love and miss Jeff greatly and will continue to uphold you in our prayers. I'm very thankful for the times we spent together. I'm also thankful for the testimony of Jeff's life to honor God with every aspect of his life. We miss him but know that he is no longer suffering and is happy to be with our heavenly Father. Continue to look to the Lord for direction and comfort. We love you.

The Miller Family and Alaine,
I spoke with my parent the other night and they gave me the sad news about Jeff. I am so sorry for your loss and Alaine, although I don't know you I knew Jeff very well in school. My fondest memory was the time we spent in Ocean City Maryland when all he wanted to do was show off his RED Mustang.
Much Love

To our dear friends, the Miller family,
We have such fond memories of Jeff throughout all the years of elementary school, AWANA, youth group, visits between college and most recently the times he spent home with Alaine. His life has been such an encouragement to all of us as he kept up the good fight throughout. We know that his life has had great purpose as he has done amazing things in both his personal and professional life that will last an eternity. We wish your family a very special peace that only God can provide at this time. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you.

Dear Miller Family,
I never had an opportunity to meet Jeff, but I am sure he was a role model for all of us to aspire and live out God's will for our life. May God bless you in your time of morning and I'll continue praying for your family.

My sympathy goes out to all of Jeffrey's family and friends. Death is hard to deal with, but when the person is so young and had so much living to do, it is even harder. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I never had the pleasure of knowing him, but it sounds like he was a very special person.Friend of the Guth and Tinklepaugh family from the E.Side, Bing.

Alaine and Mark & Joanne,
I have thought about Jeff and prayed for him so many times throughout his illness. I remember some of his and Tim's good times when they were growing up, especially the fire in your back yard and the frequent trips to Lowe's when they were building a in the backyard. Jeff was such a friendly, easy-going person. He will definitely be missed. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you.

Alaine,
As Sophia's speech therapist, she has been so lucky to have you influence her life. Our family has been so blessed by your work with her! My heart is so very heavy for your loss, but I am somehow uplifted in knowing that Jeff is now FREE and WHOLE in the presence of the Lord's embrace. Although your time together on earth was limited, your reunion in Heaven will be ETERNAL. May all the beautiful memories you created together carry you through...until you meet again!
Keeping you close in thought and prayer,

We can't imagine what you are going through right now and we wish we had the right words to help you through this. I only met Jeff a handful of times when he came to the office and he was so nice each time he came in. Anthony and I are praying for you and your family in the coming days and months. I know Jeff is with our Angel in heaven and she is showing him the ropes!
