Dear Tom, Diane & family,
You are all in my thoughts and prayers. While going over my research in the family, I discovered the death of your Dad, sister, and son and just wanted you to know that I'm thinking about you.

Tom, Diane & Family,
It's been a few years since his passing, and they say time heals all wounds. I doubt time will ever heal the wound you have over the loss of Jeff, but hopefully the pain is not so sharp.

Hi Diane and Tom,
Hard to believe it's been 3 years since Jeff passed away. I've always felt that as long as people love him and think about him his spirit stays close to us.

Diane, Tom and family,
It was indeed a pleasure to know Jeffrey, and you Diane. You made my stay at Plattsburgh State a memorable one. Jeffrey was a loving and kind young man and will always be remembered. I will continue to pray for you all. Just remember that his spirit is still with you, gone but not forgotten. May God richly bless you all.

Tom, Diane and family:
It has taken me several days to respond to your loss. Everytime I hear of one of God's children passing I am so terribly saddened and once more have such a recurring sense of loss. My husband and I lost our son Ricky (2) in 1992. We know what you are going through, there are no words to express what we feel when we lose a child. Wayne and I feel blessed we had Ricky, he truly was a wonderful son and feel God put him on earth for a purpose and that was to make...
