Mr. Jeff was more than just my grandmothers next door neighbor. He was the kindest soul who Im proud to call a member of my extended family. He did so much for us, and I’m so thankful for him. He and his wife Cynthia were so generous and welcoming. Mr. Jeff always did the yard work within the two yards because my grandmother refused to do it herself. Mr. Jeff didn’t mind though, and he always had a smile on his face as he mowed the lawn. All of my memories of Mr. Jeff involve him working outside, or sitting around a table enjoying a meal together as a family. I remember his smile, especially how big it was on his wedding day. Thank you Mr. Jeff for being a caretaker for my family. We will never forget you and your kindness. Love, Morgan Hudson
