To Jeff's parents Sharon and Bernie, and family,
I just discovered a few minutes ago, when I opened Facebook to wish Jeff a Happy Birthday, that Jeff passed away in May. I wish to extend to you my deepest condolences. I remember Jeff for the hard work he put in to succeed and graduate while at the King George School in Sutton, VT. I was one of his teachers, and it always gave me great pleasure to work with him, and a sense of genuine satisfaction when he completed all his work. In the pocket of my suit (I have just one!) I have kept the thank you card I received from Sharon and Bernie when Jeff graduated almost 20 years ago. As a teacher, it is the remembrance of one's successes that motivates one to continue on in the profession, when times are not so sanguine.
I have not seen Jeff since our days together at the King George School. But I can see from his Facebook page that he has accomplished a lot since that time. I am sincerely sorry that he will not have the opportunity to do more here on this Earth. But in God's eyes he has done enough. God bless you, and may God bless Jeff in eternity.

I can't believe you are gone. We may have had our differences and you may be my ex husband but it some ways you were there for me if you could be. In some ways I still love you and I will miss you. I will protect our boys and make sure they grow up smart and strong. I know you will watch over us.

I have known Jeff for a long time. We were in a music class in elementary school at Cedar Heights. And fate had us meet again at Bloom Carroll. I always admired his talents and intelligence. It saddens me deeply to hear his passing. My condolences goes out to all his friends and family.
