Dear Erin,

It's been a while since I have spoken to you...I guess since we graduated, but I wanted to drop you a note to let you know that I am so sorry to hear about your dad. I don't think there is anything worse than the loss of a parent, especially when it is at such a young age. Please know that you and your entire family are in my thoughts.

Jeff, you took me under your wing and you were like a father to me for the few years we worked together. I will always remember the knowledge you gave me as I still use it in my life everyday. I wish we could have got in touch one last time. I guess it'll have to wait.....for now. You're in my prayers. God Bless.

Thank you all so much for your kind words about my father. Nothing I have ever dealt with has been as horrific as this last five days. It is only the love and presence of family and friends that makes time like this bearable. I hope you will continue to post not only your condolences here, but also your fond or funny memories of what my father was like when he was alive.

Joan - I was so sorry to hear about your dear nephew, Jeffrey. When you told me about it during our phone conversation, I was just floored...two deaths in one month. I was still "reeling" over your Mom's

passing, now Jeff. Please be strong, as I know you are. The prayers of your friends and relatives are with you.

Joan - I can't believe it's time to send condolences to you again. I haven't gotten over your Mom's death and now, your nephew, Jeff. I feel so sorry for you and your family. It is difficult to grieve doubly in the same month, but I know that you are a woman of strong faith and you will get through it; just give yourself time. As always, you and your family are in our prayers. Love, Barb

Jeff and I are cousins by blood...but we always said we were brothers in heart...We told things to each other that was kept to us, that was a special brotherhood...After hanging up after conversations on the phone we always said to each other, "Luv you Bro...." as I write this I weep....but I know we will some day meet again. And again we will snowmobile on the white fluffy clouds of heaven.....
