Dear Marge, Deb & family: So sorry to learn of Jeff's passing. I'll be searching my photo archives for pictures of Jeff from Huntington, Mesa Oasis Campground in '77, and more recently, Jason & Joann's wedding in '03. Perhaps they'll help to keep his memory alive as he now rests in the peace he most assuredly deserves with our Father. Keep the faith.

Brother Columba (Tim) McNeill, O.S.B.

To the Bailie family: I give you my condolences and my prayers. I remember great times with Jeff when my family and I visited Uncle Spen and Aunt Marge's campground in Cortez. Know that the monks here at St. Benedict's Abbey are praying for Jeff and for you. I will be offering up my Communion for Jeff this coming Sunday. May he live in the joy of God's presence, and may you be blessed with the strength of the Holy Spirit. I wish you peace.

Debbie and family - So sorry to hear of your loss. My best memories are of the "little" Jeff and all the home movies and picnics. It is a shame we all lived so far apart since I did not know the "big" Jeff as well as I could. Our prayers are with you.
