Dana & Family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you. When I saw the notice in the paper I could not believe my eyes. I saw your mother Pat at the funeral home but could not get to you. Even though it has been years since I have been around you and Jeff I still remember our good times. Our bowling leagues, boating and outings at Ripley, our fun super bowl parties and New Years Eves. Jeff was always so nice and caring about everyone.

When God closes a door, he opens one. Lets pray that the one he opens will give you and your family comfort. Jeff will be within you and your family forever. God Bless you Dana.

Aunt Dana, I am sorry about the loss of Uncle Jeff. He will be sadly missed, he was a wonderful gentleman. He made us all laugh and have a good time when he was in the room. I know he will be missed by many and he has touched many of us. Tia, TJ, and Shannon: I am sorry that you have lost your father but I want you all to know that he was a wonderful man. I hope all of you know, including Aunt Dana, that he is watching down on all of you and will be with you every day. I love you all!!!

Just a hug to embrace your hearts at this time of such deep sorrow. I know that the whole family and close friends are still in shock over Jeff's death. I wish at there was something that anyone could do to make loss easier but there isn't. Just know that you and each person touched by his death is remembered in pray.

Jeff was everyones 'go-to guy' and even though he didn't think he would be able to accomplish a goal, he set about making it happen. He made things happen, even though he may have been in the shadows of others, Jeff was the guy. He will be missed at every turn by his friends and family; his quirky sense of humor, unique at the very least... we may want to forget, because of the hole you have left... but we will rememember. Thanks for making my life easier Jeff in the ways that you were able to.

I was so saddened to hear of Jeffs' passing. Even though I have been away from the area for the last four years you have always been in my heart and the miles don't mean that much other than I wish I could be there to help in anyway possible.

Jeff was like a second dad to my kids and he'll always be remembered in our heart.Jeff was always there to put a smile on your face no matter what kind of day he was having. My kids talked so much about Jeff,he was always there with open arms for anyone that needed help. He truly will be missed by our family. You have alway been there for all of us! If there is anything I can do, please let me know.My deepest sympathy goes out to all of you.He'll always be in my heart and my prayers.

With all my love

Darlene
