If there is one thing that can be almost impossible to make sense of in life, it is the loss of a loved one.

Dear Lisa and children ,
I have not shared this memory of Jeff from the past in my earlier message . I would really want to share that since the last few days , it's really hurting to accept this moment .
Jeff use to come all the way to Valley Cottage,NY almost every day in the past . He wasn't used to Indian spices in coconut rice until then and then he totally got used to it . With so much caring for you Lisa , he had taken it sometimes to Saratoga after 3 hours commutes .

It's been a while since I have seen Jeff. We played lacrosse, rode bikes, and had some fun with our jeeps. We had alot of good times back in the day. My thoughts and prayers are with Lisa and his family. He was way to young to go.
