Dear Family,
My fondest memories of Jeff are from 1990-92. We carpooled together to SRS, and I also drove a van that Jeff rode in. I often recall one evening, when I was driving the van back to Augusta, and the passengers were getting
rowdy. I asked them to calm down, and Jeff said (from the back of the van) "OK Dad". We often talked about being good dads, and the camping trips we had made. I'll always miss him.

Yet, though I cannot see thee more,
'Tis still a comfort to have seen;
And though thy precious life is over,
'Tis sweet to think that thou hast been.
Your family were the FIRST to welcome us in the neighborhood, but you won't be the last we remember ! Our thoughts and Prayers are with you all ! (send the boys over any time to play....please)

Jeff, I certainly will miss you. Our discussions about the Bible and life in general were great. I know that you are at the feet of Jesus now, enjoying the rest of your life for eternity. I will see you one day and we can continue our talks.

Sybrenia and Family, I have just learned today of your loss and am saddened to know that this has happened to you and your family. Please accept my sincere condolences, as you know, I can relate to your loss and the pain of losing the one person in your life that understood you more than anyone else and accepted you unconditionally. Getting through the times ahead can be unbearable unless you can keep your eyes on Jesus and your faith in His Grace and comfort. My prayers and well wishes are with you.

My little brother Jeffrey was a tree!
Yes it's true. At age 6, he was a snaggle tooth, tap dancing tree in Bill Fowlers' Dance Recital in Medford, Massachusetts. After hearing from so many of his friends and co-workers over the past week, I will still remember him as a tree. He was a tall Oak tree with strong roots that were anchored in place by his faith in the Lord and love for his family. He was a strong Oak tree with a massive trunk that could withstand any hurricane or storm that blew his way because his core believed in the power of prayer and God's love for all of his children. He was a beautiful oak tree with far reaching branches covered with green leaves that protected, comforted and cheered up those who
stood in its shade.

I will miss my brother daily, but I find comfort in knowing that he is with our Lord and Savior and is at peace. I have wonderful memories of Jeffrey - many that make me laugh. I know that many of you have memories of Jeff that make you smile or chuckle. Hold on to those memories because Jeffrey would want us all to smile when we think of him.

On behalf of my family, I would like to thank everyone for their prayers and words of comfort. Your kind words about Jeffrey will stay with us as we deal with our grief and live on in this Legacy Book.

We will miss Jeffrey dearly but we know he is at true peace with the Lord. Jeffrey will be remembered as a wonderful son, brother, husband and Father. He truly lived a Godly life!

A life well lived, Jeffrey!

I'm deeply saddened by the loss of such a wonderful man. May God continue to be with you, and may he forever keep you in his care....

Wilbur Johnson

June 11, 2008

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dear Jo'el and family,
I was deeply saddened to hear about the death of your father and love one today. I regret that I did not receive the message until I returned home at eleven o'clock this morning and was therefore unable to attend the funeral today. Please know that you and your family are in my prayers and thoughts during this time of bereavement.
Jo'el, you now have a very special angel watching over you. He will always be with you within your heart. Cherish all of the wonderful and loving memories and experiences that you have shared with your father. These memories along with your faith in God will help you through the really sad days and moments ahead.
Please let me know if there is anything that I can do for you or your family.
With deepest sympathy,
Joeann White, School Counselor, Sue Reynolds Elementary School and The Sue Reynolds' Student Council

Dear Grant Family,

Jeff Grant is one of the finest men I've ever known. I've seen alot in my travels and heard alot in 20 years of service. I can honestly say men of Jeff's character are very rare. He is the kind of guy that could easily be taken for granted, but I want you to know that you've been truly blessed to have known him and that blessing is a gift that will keep giving for the rest of your lives. Sabrenia, as far as I'm concerned you all are part of my extended family, let us know if there is anything we can do for you. Your in our prayers. Jeff is alright now, I have no doubt he is with Jesus in heaven.

To the Grant Family,
My family and I would like to express
our deepest sympathy for your loss. Our son, Zackari, and Ashton were teammates this past winter on same recreation basketball team. Mr. Grant introduced himself to me by telling me the funniest story of mistaking me for my twin sister when he congratulated her on how well Zackari played on a particular game. We shared a nice laugh when he realized that Zackari's mom was a twin. My family will be praying for your family during this difficulty. May God surround you with his grace and mercy and may it comfort you.

Dear Grant Family,

The character of a man is hallmarked by the message conveyed by his life which impacts the world around him on an eternal level. Working with Jeffery, I could sense his vision and strength of family.

Angel Robinson

There are not enough words to describe the hurt and pain that we all feel right now because of the sudden loss of Mr. Jeff. It hurts to speak of him in past tense because he's no longer here. No, I am not a blood relative but when it came to showing me love, Mr. Jeff treated me like one of his children. My brother and I, were always treated with respect and love and we will truly miss that. But we hold on to the memories and the love and we'll never let it go. We remember when we would go to the house and he would give us lectures all the time. We would laugh at him and say that he sounded just like our father. But there was always something meaningful, valuable and important in those lectures. He just wanted to make sure that our lives were steered in the right direction. He was more than just a neighbor that we all knew. He was a comfort and a safe place, as well as the rest of the Grant family. I would drive by the house and see him in the yard or see him running and I would honk and wave every single time. I know that the pain is so much to bear right now and its hard to imagine the next day without having Mr. Jeff here, but God is going to give us all peace and comfort to get through this. Mr. Jeff is resting in the Lord's arms as we speak and I know that he made it in. As my mother, brother and I looked up into the clouds and the sun shining through them, we know that he made it in. Now, he's saving a place for us all. I don't know why God decided to take him home but I feel as though God needed him more than we did here on earth. Mr. Grant was a neighbor, a friend and he was family and we are going to miss him so much. Mrs. Sybrenia and Charlton and the boys... if there is anything that The Robinson Family can do, you just come down to the corner and let us know... we're always here. We love you and may God bless your hearts.

The Robinson Family-
Angel, Ella, Craig Sr., and Craig Jr.

Dear Grant Family,

Please draw strength from the fact that you will be in the thoughts and prayers of Jeff’s many, many friends at SRS. It was obvious to anyone who knew him that he loved his family and he truly loved his Lord. Jeff was a unique, upbeat person - He loved life and it showed in how he treated people and went about his job. His passing saddens those of us who had the pleasure of working with him, yet we draw comfort from the knowledge that he now rests with our Savior. Our friend Jeff will be deeply missed.

You are in my thoughts and prayers during this time of loss. I will miss the times that Jeff and I spent talking about the Bible and about our families. I can remember the way his face would light up when he spoke of his family. It was clear that he loved you all very much. It was a pleasure and an honor to work with Jeff. He took such pride in his work and enjoyed every day. Jeff will be deeply missed.

Your family will remain in our prayers. I am a friend of Tycee, but also one of your Asbury neighbors.

Phillipians 4:19-"In turn, my God, will fully supply all your need....." He will definitely provide you with the strength to make it through this difficult time. It is very hard as imperfect humans to accept such a loss. But God has a plan at Revelations 21:4-"And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." God promises that we will see our loved ones again under perfect conditions.

If you need anything, please do not hesitate to call. Tycee has my number.

Ms. Ferguson and The Brotherhood

June 9, 2008

Dearest Jo`el and Family;

If words could simply say how I feel, I could write for days. But mere words cannot express the heartfelt sympathy I feel over the passing of your father.

During our conversations at school, I could tell that your Dad was a man of honor and a man of God. He loved his family so much and wanted the best for them. Jo`el, he loves you and I know that he stands before God telling him about you.

Though these are sad times and you dearly miss your Dad, be strong and of good courage because you are loved by your family, your teacher, The Brotherhood, and most of all by God.

May Jesus wrap His loving arms around you all now.

God Bless! Love always, Pat Hendrix

Becky Moore

June 9, 2008

When the Marine's called upon a few good men to represent them and protect us here, it was no wonder that Jeff stepped up to the plate. As a Security coworker, team member, and friend, he was the one that always found the sunshine and the positive in things that others thought were hopeless. He was supportive to us at work and always interested in his friends and coworkers outside of work. I will miss him; and know that this world has lost one of the best. My deepest sympathies go to his family during this most difficult time. My prayers are with the ones left to pick up the pieces, because Jeff is in a far better place looking down at us and smiling. Stay strong, he was.

Dear Grant Family - - My deepest sympathy to you all in your loss. Jeffery was indeed precious in the eyes of the Lord as we all witnessed in his daily life. Jeff's boundless energy and joyful approach to life were an inspiration to us all. Although we may grieve here on earth, you can be assured Jeff is waiting in glory with a smile (and a video camera)! His best tribute is a reflection of his life well-lived. May you find comfort in the arms of the Heavenly Father.

Sybrenia, his children, Olivia, and his parent- you’re in our thoughts and prayers

Jeff was such a wonderful part of SRS and our community. He had such a great attitude, plenty of smiles and laughter. He enjoyed his family, work, and environment- nothing seemed to get him down and I’m sure he was the first guy who made lemonade out of lemons.

As a Security Professional, and always a Marine, his vigilance for America was second to none. Tireless and detail oriented-there is no one at SRS who contributed more than Jeff.

As a friend, he was always a bundle of energy, fast on the move, but would attentively pause as long as necessary to find out how family, work or other details of our lives were going. Jeff listened to his friends, colleagues, and acquaintances not to past time but to see where he could help- You could always count on Jeff.

After his first security video at work, he was bitten by the producer bug, and we began to wonder how Hollywood missed his talent. I often told him Spike Less had nothing on him as a Director and I’ve never laughed so hard but received the message so clearly as watching a Jeff Grant security education production.

As an inspiration, the Lord Jesus Christ was in everything Jeff did and you knew that not only by his acknowledgement but in his every action. He understood and shared information about our salvation and he knew that our segment on earth was but a blink of the eye to eternity…..I’ll deeply miss Jeff until we meet again- but I look forward to watching the orientation video’s he’s making in the Kingdom!

To the Bereaved Family
I prayerfully send you my condolences for the lost of such a terrific son, husband, brother, etc. and friend. Jeff was such a special Christian disciple of God. I have worked with Jeff over 8 years and he was the same as yesterday, today and I know tomorrow. Jeff was like a brother to me; the best married African American male friend I had. Jeff loved the Lord first and his family second. Jeff and I often engaged in conversations dealing with scriptures in the Bible as Jeff constantly sought knowledge, understanding and he had wisdom. Jeff desire in this life was to live life as God wanted him too. He never had a negative thing to say about anyone. He was always humble, a peacemaker, positive, upbeat and smiling (just to name a few). We talked at least twice a week. We always had to check in with each other if not only to say hello. Jeff favorite saying to me was “Psquare –pray for me and I will pray for. We need to stay prayed up for we never know the day, hour, minute or second.” I will never forget when Jeff told me he was ready to meet the Lord and when called to go to Heaven, he was ready. Jeff was ready but I wasn’t quite ready. Jeff prophesied his life and was happy about his outcome. I love you Jeff but God loves you best. Rest in peace. I’ll see you again.

Dear Grant Family:
Jeff was a dear friend and a brother in Christ. Jeff and I both worked in the Safeguards Dept. and he followed me to the Tritum Facility. Jeff was a wonderful man that let us know that God and family were the true priorities in his life. Jeff was a joy to be around and whenever I called him he would greet me with a happy and jovial "Hey Big-G." My heart goes out to you and I am praying for you. We will all miss Jeff but I know he had faith and is with his Heavenly Father. In honor of Jeff being a proud Marine, I am donating a gift to our troops overseas that includes a Bible, a daily devotion, and a study Bible and helps on CD. I loved Jeff greatly and will miss him so much!

I worked with Jeff for eight years in the Tritium Facilities and I considered him a good friend. He was always upbeat with the biggest smile a person can have. My wife and I want to express our deepest sympathies and we will keep the entire Grant family in our prayers.

Olivia,

I am so sorry for your loss . . .

I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. (1 Corinthians 15:50)

Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed--in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. (1 Corinthians 15:51-52)

Where, 0 death, is your victory? Where, 0 death, is your sting? (1 Corinthians 15:55)

I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. (John 11:25-26)

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. (John 14:3)

It came as a great shock to us that Jeffery has left this place to be with his Heavenly Father. We know that he will be missed by all who knew him. He will be remembered for his gentle and kind ways and his strong religious beliefs. Olivia, Mr. and Mrs. Grant you know that you can call on us at any time for anything. You are in our constant prayers. Sabriena and family hold strong to His unchanging hands and He will see you through your most difficult hours. You all are in our thoughts and we hold you up in prayer during this time. The Moore Family
