Dear Karen,
I was so sorry to hear about Jeff. Although we haven't been in touch in many years I knew you were happy with him and so I was saddened to hear of his death.

Where are you, Jeff? You've gone, but I can still hear your marvelous voice! That laugh! You charmed everyone! We had so much in common.

Dear Karen: Jeff will always be remembered with my love. He married Donna, my life-long best friend, back in the 70's. He introduced me to my husband, Allen, back in the early 80's.

I miss him and thank you for this opportunity to tribute Jeff's life.

I'm glad for the time he was my son-in-law!
