Jeffrey Iam so sorry this has taken me so long to do. I just felt writing this to you makes it so final, and what do I say! What I feel inside well Iam having such a hard time finding words. Saying how much I miss you and love you just isn't enough. It just isn't fair that the good people die. It shouldn't have been you! I do have my wonderful memories but I guess Iam being selfish because I don't want memories I want you. I have a song on my CD in my car that I listen to all the time. It reminds me of you. I think of you a zillion times a day. I really know what a broken heart feels like now. There will never be anyone like you. You were truly loved by so many, it was amazing. I love you Jeffrey!!

No matter how much
We miss you
We can't say hello
We can't say goodby
It all ends
In mid air
The tears well up
and spill over
It changes nothing
Thy will be done
love forever

This is a difficult weekend for me - Brighton Field Days is up at the corner of my street. Every year Jeff and I would meet at the beer tent and have so much fun, listening to the band and running into so many old friends. I wouldn't even go this year, it hurts too much. It's things like this that make me miss him more than ever....

Dear Mr.& Mrs. Battaglia,
It is so unnatural for parents to outlive their child. I can't begin to imagine what you are going through or the sorrow you will feel until you see Jeff again. I visit Jeff's site often and pray for him and my father at every mass. Now that the nice weather is here, all the motorcycles on the road are a constant reminder of Jeff. I keep a picture of him holding your great-granddaugher on my desk and I have his leather motorcycle break covers hanging in my room. I wear the necklace he bought me and have the parrot decals he got me when he was in Florida the last time, on my kitchen window. So all of these reminders of Jeff are part of my everyday life. I miss him so much and he is one the first people I want to see when it is my time to go. Please try to enjoy your days, Jeff wouldn't want you to be sad. Love, Angel

It doesn't seem possible that it's been almost a year that you've been gone. I miss not seeing your friendly, smiling face in the Elmwood area. The girls and I always agreed that you seemed genuinely happy to see any of us ... and we were happy to see you. I have some great memories of you, your family and all our mutual friends in the years you were growing up. Those memories will always be there and so, in a sense, will you. God Bless - Love, Ellen

Hi Jeffy,
Well, today is the day we used to celebrate our birthdays, mine three days ago, and yours in three days. Even though we can't go to the garnet mines together like we were planning, I'm still going to go this summer and I want you to be there with me in spirit. I'm glad we share the same birthstone - I'll pick a nice one out for both of us. Love and Happy Birthday to you...

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Battaglia
I recently heard of Jeff's passing and very sorrow for your loss. I rember being with Jeff in scouts and all the fun adventures we had together in high school. Jeff was one who would give you the shirt of his back if you were in need but never ask for anything in return. Again Jeff was one outstanding and thoughtful person.

Frank and Diann, how do I pay respects to your loss? While time will heal, your heart will always be filled with the love for your son. I can only offer my support and caring.

Hi Jeffy,
It was two weeks ago today that I found out you would no longer be in my life. I miss you so much already. There are so many things that remind me of you every day. I take comfort in knowing that someday I will see you again. My love to you forever...

My deepest sympathy to Jeff's family. I'm sorry that I just found out about his passing. I went to high school with Jeff. He was truly a gentle giant with a heart of gold. Jeff was very good friends in high school with John McKeel who passed a way 19 years ago. I can only believe they are riding their motorcycles up there somewhere, or working on some hot rod. My family and I will always have fond memories. God Bless.

Dear Frank & Diann,
My heart aches for the two of you as well as the rest of your family. I lost a child at a very young age and it was the worst thing in the world. I can't imagine losing Jeff after having him for over 40 years. I know he was a very good son and that is a blessing. My prayers will remain ongoing for you. Remember we at The Villages love you both.

Mr. & Mrs. Battaglia:
Words cannot express the loss, especially of one so young and loved by many. Jeff was a kind soul and a person who was always willing to lend a hand. I pray for you, and all the family through this time of suffering and pain, I know the Lord will lift you up. In fact, I am sure Jeff is already repairing bikes and scoping out his next Harley in heaven. May he rest in peace and may you be comforted by the fact that he is at rest. On behalf of Cathy, Lynn and my mom and dad, Bill and Jean, please accept our sympathies.

Riding on the back of your Harley, I can still feel the wind in my hair and the rain on my face. It always seemed to rain when we rode, just like tonight. Did anyone know Jeff saved my life at Sherkston? He was selfless enough to spare me the embarrassment for my lack of swimming skills. I'll miss waving to him in the tow truck.
