To Guion's and extended family I just want to say how sorry I am to hear of our loss. Every time I drive by the little house on Daniels Farm I smile cause Jeff always made me smile.

Now when I drive by I will cry. So sad to have lost such a sweet,sweet soul.

"The LORD bless youand keep you;
the LORD make his face shine upon you
and be gracious to you;
the LORD turn his face toward you
and give you peace."
Numbers 6:24-26

An Indian Prayer

I give you this one thought to keep,
I'm with you still. I do no sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush,
Of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone
I am with you still, in each new dawn.
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand there at my grave and cry
I am not there, I did not die.

May you find peace in your heart, and a comfort within your memories.
A special thank you to Jeff's family for sharing such a wonderful person with us. Jeff has given us many laughs and many smiles, and we will cherish those memories the rest of our lives.

Dear Guion Family, we are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of your beloved son and brother Jeff. We will miss Jeff’s laughter & kind ways and will remember the good times: sharing holidays, burning the “marriage stick” at the island; just sitting around talking and listening to music. May his spirit fill your hearts and help fade away your sorrow. Our thoughts and prayers are will you all. The Weber Family: Karl, Teri, Derik, Justin & Rebecca.
