Not sure what to say?

Been thinking about Jeff this holiday season. Spent time with him in DC and during college. He is missed.

Miss You Jeff. You Were Taken Way Too Soon. Peace Friend .

Dothers! Not cool to leave us this soon! I get it...Dick and Margaret were waiting for you, but you still had some unfinished business to knock out here. You would always remind me of how much physical pain I caused you after our football days.
