It is hard to believe its been 4 years since his passing. One of his classmates and I were just talking about him the other day and I received an email this morning to post an update to you all. I can say he was one of the most energetic and mannerly young men I knew. As I approach the end of my educational career (this is year 29 for me) I will always remember Jeff. My thoughts and prayers are with you all as you continue to mourn the loss of such a special family member.
Im sure you long for the day you can see him again. God bless you!
