My online search to find a treatment written by Rev. Jeffrey brought me to this memorial guest book. So right now I am very sad. It was my priviledge to have met such an authentically inspiring man.
With love and respect,

Reverend Jeffrey was a very dear friend to our entire family. I studied with him, and taught Jr. Church under his tuteledge, called him for treatment work when life got too hard at times, and when we moved out of state, we drove back to Tennessee to have Jeffrey perform our newborn son's Blessing Ceremony. He was our oldest sons' first spiritual teacher, and I couldn't have asked for a better, more loving, wise, gentle and insightful human being to fill that role for them.
Jeffrey taught us well, and we will always have the immeasurable treasures of wisdom and love he gave us to get through this, and some of the sweetest memories of our lives. Let those be of comfort to all of us who knew and loved him while we continue on without his sweet presence here on Earth.
To Don, dear heart, Jim and the boys and I beam to you all the Love in our hearts and keep you in our prayers.

Jeffrey drove the 80 miles from Knoxville to Crossville, TN to meet with a study group here for a number of years before moving on to Baltimore. My husband Harry and I were very close to Jeffrey and we would almost always take him out to dinner afterwards where he would get fish and chips. I am nearly 70 and can truthfully say of the many spiritual teachers I have enjoyed over my lifetime, Jeffrey was the best. His teaching nourishes me to this day.

Jeffrey was an incredible mentor, friend, and Pastor. All that knew him were unbelievably enriched by his love, clarity, teachings and examples. Though his unexpected passing brings grief to those who knew and loved him, we are immensely grateful for the richness he brought to our lives. My wife Jan and I feel blessed to have known and loved him and we offer Don our continued love and support.
