To the family of Jeff Scarlett: I was so sorry to hear of Jeff's passing. My prayers and thoughts are with you. Jeff and my husband John, were in school together, played sports and enjoyed golf together many years ago. John use to tell me stories of working for his father at the funeral home. He had so many fond memories of Jeff and of all the Scarlett family. Perhaps they are enjoying a round of golf in heaven together. My sincerest sympathy to all of you on the lost a beloved member...
