Not sure what to say?

Dear Vonnie, Mark and I won't make it to the service but we will hold you in our prayers. Scripture says we grieve but not as those without hope. You have displayed that hope and confidence in the Lord through this very difficult time of Jeff's illness and going home to be with the Lord he loves. God gifted Jeff tremendously, I always enjoyed his leading in worship when you were in AG. Sincerely,
Lynne Watje

Dear Vonnie: Mary Beth and I are so moved by the many expressions of love and appreciation for Jeff! Our journey did not have the joy of knowing him, and I see now that was our loss. Your faithfulness in expressing God's Love and constant protection has again lifted my spirit. We mourn with you and rejoice in the life of Jeff, Well lived and now being told by our Creator, "Well done, My Child, you have been so faithful, enter into my presence!" Many blessings to you and your family,

Dear Vonnie. I followed and prayed for Jeff's journey to the Kingdom on Facebook through Julie Savage. So many wonderful memories of you both in choir at Grace. love and peace to you Nancy (Dick) David

Dear Vonnie and Family

I remember first meeting you and Jeff at breakfast in a cafe in LA as we were hoping to call to our church in Arroyo Grande. We did, you came, and it was a wonderful experience. You are great folks and I wish I had more of you. Heaven is for that, I suppose. You have my deepest condolences.

The sweet memory of Jeff loving my friend Vonnie will forever be seared upon my memory. Lliving with Vonnie sand watching her college sweetheart become her husband brings me to tears now as Jff will be so missed by Vonnie and their three children, and grandchildren. I also knew Peter and am in deep sorrow for his loss. Loosing a sibling is not something I ever want to face. Our hearts go out to all who have had the pleasure of enjoying him throughout his life. YOU will be missed!!!

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Peter and I appreciate so much the worship experiences we have had at Grace Bible Church in Arroyo Grande under Jeff's leadership. We have missed your family these past several years but continue to worship at GBC in the same sweet spirit. Our heartfelt condolences go out to each one in your family. If you ever want to visit AG, contact me for a place to stay. Love you all.

Still planning on giving you that hug in person. Wish Redding were possible for Jeff's Memorial this weekend. I am comforted to know that you will be surrounded by family and friends. He was my only choir director. HoHoHo Hosanna, HaHa Halleluia, HeHeHe He saved me...
