Our prayers are offered for the entire Cochran family. I have fond memories of Jeff visiting my father's store, Wilgrove Superette. He would ride his bike to the store along with his siblings. May you feel the peace and grace that only He can provide during this time.

Jeff was a cherished childhood friend I thought of often and will remember always. Even though we lost regular contact after I moved and joined the service I would drop by the old neighborhood to visit. Jeff had a deep belief in the Lord and I know that he is in his presents today. God bless the family and my families heart goes out to you in this time of sorrow.
