Not sure what to say?

To Robin, Brooke, Shelby and the entire Jenkins family--

I will always remember JJ with a huge smile across his face. As Joe wrote earlier, a true "Virginia gentleman." When I read that, it really hit the nail on the head. He will always be remembered and thought of with love and admiration by all who had the pleasure of knowing him (even for a brief moment). May you all find the strength you need to make it through this sad time. Love to all of you.

Tara Grant and...

Robin and Family,

We were deeply saddened to hear of JJ's passing. His positive attitude was unshakable...

The first time I met JJ was at the 1986 UVa/Tech game in Blacksburg. He and (I believe) Clary and McCllelan were sitting about 6 rows down from me in the student section and were getting pelted with ice most of the game. Yet, I don't think I ever heard him complain about "Hokie Fans" in general, as would have been his right after what they put him...

Our hearts and prayers go out to all the Jenkins families at this time of sorrow.

Robin,
We were deeply saddened by JJ's death. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. 81st Street will not be the same.
Take Care.

JJ was a true Virginia Gentleman and hero. We will miss him. I didn't get to see much of him after he moved to Fla. My last memory of him was UVA at Auburn..He was smiling (as always) ear to ear.

Robin,

I have nothing but positive lasting memories of my times with Jeff.
UVA-Tech football games... with great tailgate parties. All the wonderful times at 81st Street... playing volleyball and soaking up the sun. Friday nights at Towne Point Park in Norfolk.

My lasting memory, however, is his kindness, gentleness and friendship. He was a very special person and I am grateful for the time I spent with him on this Earth.

Our thoughts and prayers are...

Bobby, Jackie & Family:
So sorry hear of your great loss. Our prayers and sympathy go out to you and your family during this time. God is able to help in times of need. Just look to him.

Jeff will be deeply missed by our neighborhood.

Robin, if there is anything our family can do for you and yours, please ask.

God Bless,
