Not sure what to say?

Back in 1999 or 2000, when I was around 13, I had frequent nosebleeds. My dad took me to see Dr. Schlameus, our family doctor. After examining my nose with his little magnifying tool, he put it away, sat on his rolling stool, and asked me a few questions about the nosebleeds. Then he hit me with the big one: "Do you pick your nose?" I nervously replied, "No." Dr. Schlameus looked at my dad, then back at me, rolled his stool closer, and said, "Kyle, there are two types of people in this...

I had an appointment @ EFMC today. The clinic hasn´t been the same since your passing. You healed our family for 30 years. We miss you so very much. Thank you for allowing us the pleasure of having the best doctor on the planet. Your family continues to be in our prayers. We´ll always call you our PCP. The Eustice Family.

My note to Jeff:

For a man without siblings it’s amazing how many friends think of you as more of a brother, and how many of your children’s friends find you more of an “uncle”. To me, you were my other dad… which didn’t seem possible considering I was already blessed with such an amazing father, how did I get so lucky to get another one that treated me like family from the start? I will never forget Brooke introducing me to you at Dad’s Weekend and you so quickly throwing your arm...

What a lucky day it was when we moved next door to Jeff, Jan, Brett and Brooke in August of 1986. We moved next door to a most wonderful family!

We watched Brett and Brooke go through grade school, high school and college undergraduate school, and, to some extent, graduate school. We were present for the installation of the swimming pool ( almost non-installation of the swimming pool-it threatened to float away!), we observed the playing of countless pickle balls games and played in...

Jan,I'm truely sorry for not getting to you sooner.My deepest sympathy to you and your family.Although we haven't seen each other much in recent years I know he was the best because he was with you.My prayer's are with you and your family.Love always,Jim and Cecille Shoemaker

Whenever my dad would bump into other KD dads he knew, (Big O, Kev-dog, anyone he saw in Pullman), he would always end up repeating the same little story. Per Bob, “I will never forget the first time I visited Kristin in Pullman. Dad’s weekend ‘04, Kristin and her friends were far from 21, and I was thinking to myself, should we buy some beer in front of the girls, or would that be a bad example? We were walking over to this frat house for some poker exchange and we thought we’d stop into the...

Jan and family,
You all have been in my thoughts constantly since last month. I'm wishing you good thoughts and calm moments. Jan, as you know, I did not know Jeff very well. But, during the winter months when I'd visit I felt I had gotten to know him much better. When, finally, you allowed Book Club to assist you two with an occassional dinner, I found it definitely was my pleasure to bring dinner items that I thought you and Jeff would enjoy. It didn't take long for me to realize...

Dear Jan, Brett, Brooke, Ali, Papa~

Whenever I think about Jeff's passing I always think to myself..."why do bad things always have to happen to the best people?" It just doesn't seem fair somehow.

Although no one can say or do anything to ease your pain, please know that your friends and loved ones care so much about you all and wish we could ease your grief.

I pray for your strength, now and in the future, and think of you often.

Just know that you have been...

Dear Jan, Brook and Brett,
We are sending you our continued love and prayers as you live out the unplanned change in your lives with the enormous loss of Jeff. God bless you always.
Bob and Mary Jeffers
