Darla,

I cannot imagine what you all have been through over the past week. I only wish I could have been there for you. From the cutest baby, the "sharp dressed man" at only 5 years old in our Wedding, to being best young man ever! He definitely was the best son a mom could have. It is hard to find just the right words to let you know how much I care (because you already know!)

Darla & Family, Words cannot express the sense of loss I am feeling in the loss of Jeff. He and Dennis were like Mutt and Jeff during baseball and High School (of course, then Dennis had his growth spurt). I loved Jeff like a son and have missed him since we moved to Round Rock. He had such an infectious smile. I'm glad my family had the opportunity to see him a few years ago while traveling to Forney on Christmas Eve. What a coincidence that we took a rest stop at the same place. God bless you and your entire family. May your pain be overpowered by the beautiful memories of Jeff. You are all in my prayers. Love, Cheryl

I have received many phone calls and emails from people who knew Jeff from his time here at Southwest Freight. Most of them remember him the most for his smile, his laughter, and his mischievous side. He is well remembered by the people who work at Southwest Freight and customers that knew him. On a much more personal note - Once in our family, always in our family. I have lost a brother that I loved. And with him goes another little piece of my heart.

Jeff,
It's very hard to write this, you just never know how much you will miss someone until they are not there anymore. Your at peace forever now, safely home in Heaven. You will be greatly missed.

Jeff's Family :
When someone loses a loved one who has meant so much to them, it's so hard to express sympathy and words of comfort. Even though no words can truly comfort you, perhaps they can in some small way express the depth of care and concern that's felt by everyone here at American Eagle Lines. We all miss him every much.
