Mike, you were a great father and person. I'm going to miss walking around OCJ and talking to you. Met your beautiful baby girl at your wake today. Watch over your babies and I hope you are at peace. Rest in heaven.

My condolences to the friends and family of Mr Jeffers. From all the comment I can see he was well loved by many. My heart goes out to children He left behind. No kids should have to grow up without a father. I hope they keep him alive through the wonderful memories He made with them. I know that God will watch over them for He is the father of the fatherless and their protector. Psalms 68:5.
