When I was younger than Jeff and Jeff was just a boy in my life. I lost a best friend in a car accident. Jeff as a boy learned of what I was going through and took all the greif upon himself as if he had lost his best friend. So startling -as most kids freeze in silence ( like a deer in headlights ) dealing with death. I will never forget the support that came from Jeff as a child that helped me get through my renching agony. Now, I am in renching agony for the loss of a soal GOD. Clearly was having a great day when he/she gifted us Jeff. And, I am so lucky and proud to have known and loved Jeff with so many great memories of him. My treasure chest is full. I thank his Mom for giving Jeff great spunk to survive lifes obstacles- even if Jeff ( like all of us ) have little to no control of the degree of severity of the obstacles resulting in our odds to survive what life throws at us. Jeff Blake was a great nephew- a great soal and a true compliment to all of us on earth and the heavens above. I wrench with agony not being able to see his contagious smile again. A dose of his positive cloud of energy that followed around him as he walked through life. I know Jeff knew how much we all loved him. As he smiled back as us all with a twinkle in his eye. Add to your and my list - the longer we live the more unlucky we all are -watching the ones we love the most ( like Jeff Blake ) risk leaving earth before us for the heavens above. As Jeff left he took part of me with him. A part of me I cant get back until I see him again. Urning to hug him tight - stare him in the eyes and tell him : Do you know how much I love you? How much I missed you? ( when I see Jeff again ) As Jeff says back with a twinkle in his eye: I know Uncle Rob : I know! This is not the end - just the beginning of forever love with loved ones.

Jeffery, we will miss everything about who you were, and what you did.
We will miss your phone calls that we had from you, when you wanted our opinion on a subject you were interested in, or to just talk and hear each other's voice.
Be in peace Jeff, we will see you again, as our physical shell is just a rental, but our souls live on forever.
Love, Uncle Bruce and Aunt Pamela
