Memories and Condolences
for Jeff Worzalla

Not sure what to say?





I think of you every day, and will until the day I see you again. I am so grateful to have had such a dedicated a loving father...and will hold every memory of you close to my heart. I miss you so much and hate that I ever took for granted the 'fact' I could talk to you whenever I wanted to -- because I want to talk to you now, but I can't. While I will try so hard to hold onto the precious and wonderful memories, my heart will always ache missing you.
