In God's hands our Angel now, we shared laughter and memories were made, you brought us joy in every way. To see you go was the hardest thing, but you gave us comfort and said it would be "okay". And life went on in a different way. I think of you each and every day and you are always in my heart. My dear brother I miss you so much.

The Scissons Family,

I want to take this time to express our condolences and deepest sympathy to you and yours in this your time of loss. Jeff was an extraordinary man whose courage and determination is a lesson to us all. He was and will continue to be a fundamental part of our family’s day to day lives; he was always there for us. I have no doubt that Jeff will remain a vital source of strength for all whom he touched. May his strength and unwavering grit bring us all comfort knowing he was a man all should strive to emulate. Jeff had exceptional parenting skills leaving us with extremely fond memories of him patiently playing with his boys while his and the boys eyes lit up, it was a sight to behold. The amount of people Jeff touched was evident at his wake and service; it clearly expresses a deep personal loss at his passing. We join with you in celebrating his life during which he gave and received a tremendous amount of Love. I suspect his good nature, the love he so unselfishly gave and his contagious smile will fill us with a sense of joy forever more. Jeff’s legacy will live on through the lives of his three beautiful boys. Although we will miss him dearly Jeff will live on in our hearts and minds forever. May God Bless you all!

I only met Jeff once, when you were here for a visit. I new immediately that you were made for each other. I know there is nothing I can say that will ease the pain you are going through. Time and the love of your family will help. Take care of yourself and your three beautiful boys.

Dear Renee,
My deepest sympathies to you and your boys during this trying time. It seems that Jeff and I were in the hospital at the same time. I am still on 5 West, thinking of Jeff on a daily basis. I still remember how happy he was that he got to be home for Christmas and see his boys at hockey. Everytime we talked about his kids and family, his eyes became bright and optimistic. He has such a beautiful soul that will shine on in his kids and you.

Joe Goguen

Renee,

My deepest heart felt sympathy as you go through this time of grief. I never did meet your boys Renee, but the memories of Jeff I have will never be forgotten. Oh how he loved you Renee. From the moment I met him, his smile was contagious and how quickly he fit in with your family and friends. He felt comfortable joking and laughing with us all while still maintaining a mutual respect for the elders. I remember the part in the poem "Footprints" where a man asked God "If you were with me all the time, then why are there only one set of footprints at times?" God answered "those are the times I carried you, my friend." Renee I cannot even imagine the sadness you feel right now, but know that these are the times that God will carry you through and I will pray with all of my heart for you and your boys. Renee you are surrounded by great friends and a very loving family that cherish you and the boys. May this love and the memories you have of Jeff help you through your grief. GOD BLESS YOU, Renee.

I went to St. Mark's with Jeff from Grades 7-9, if memory serves me correctly, we had homeroom together during one of those years but never really hung out as friends. 20 odd years later when I was introduced to Facebook, Jeff added me to his Long List of Friends, just shows what kind of person he was to add someone he barely hung out with but remembered who I was.

My prayers are with your family.
