Drew,

I was sad to read about the passing of your father. You and I go all the way back to St. Stephen's, then Johnston and UT. As we grew older I recognized and understood the fine qualities of your father and his commitment to a better community through the legal system. As Houstonians, we were very fortunate that he served us so well. I have great admiration for all that Judge Jefferson did, the contributions he made and the family he raised.

Blessings to you all.

Warmest condolences to the entire family. I knew Andrew Jefferson well, having been on the other side
on several occasions in the court room. May he rest in peace. May his legacy last forever and may his soul and all the souls of the faithfully
departed, rest in peace.
