Not sure what to say?

Elaine, Dale, Jess & Jon:
Even though tomorrow will be a year since Jeff left us, I will always remember him, especially by his beautiful, broad smile. He used to hang at my house with my son, Ryan, Chris, Jeff H., and Jerry, among others playing pool, ping pong, darts, or cards. He is still with us downstairs. On the beams in the basement there is still the markings of a game of pool on one particular night. Unfortunately Jeff had only gotten 1 point. But it's still up there in chalk on...

To all,

Jeff emobodied 99% of the most pure and genuine characteristics of anyone I know. For me to say that Jeff impacted my life would be an immense understatement. The relationship I had with Jeff throughout my life has definetly helped to mold and define who I am today.

As Jeff's Mom,I am so touched by all of your concern, well wishes, and remembrances which will be forever treasured by our family. I want to share some excerpts from Meditation for Survivors of Suicide by Bhikshuni Thubten Chodron which have been particularly meaningful for me.

“Everything in life changes,…even though our separation happened sooner than I would have liked or expected, I’m so glad we knew each other.” For me, everyday with Jeff was a gift. There was barely a day...

Dear Dale and Elaine, we were very sorry to hear of your loss. Nothing we could say could ease your pain. Suffice it to know our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Sorry for your lose. Unfortunatly I never had the pleasure of really getting to know Jeff, but the way Auntie Kim spoke of him he was a very loved man. He will never be forgotten.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Dear Elaine and Dale: I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Reading the many beautiful notes reminds me of when we were growing up and the wonderful times we had at your home on S. Quaker. How nice to see that your son had so many friends who feel welcome at your home. You and family are in my thoughts and prayers. May God Bless you.

Jon and family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. There are no words to express how sad I am for you. I send my deepest condolencs for you all, Erik
