15 years have passed since you left. Still missed, the memories are deep. How can one person have such an impact on those around you? Well, you certainly did! This crazy thing called "life" continues to move on. It's not the same, I still manage to hear your laugh - and mostly giggle, but sometimes it's overwhelming. I can remember certain things so clearly and vividly - and then remember the "blur" that was my life for many years after that most horrible day. :( :(. Enduring this loss was tough - I failed miserably at the grieving process. But, there was a light, I found it on the other side, and it continues to get brighter each day and every spring. Here's to you New Guy - keep shining bright from up and beyond! - I believe that you are. Keep smiling down and guiding those you've left behind. I know you and the doggies are all together rejoicing in smooches and belly rubs.

Jeff, my brother and friend, 11 years gone since you left this fleeting, physical plane. I think of you often mentioning you by name along with your precious Children, your Parents, Siblings, Jen and all your Family and Friends in my daily litany of prayers. Please, before the Throne of Almighty, Living Triune GOD, pray for my Family and I. Can't wait to see you on the Eternal, Joyous side.
With all the might of my heart, mind and soul I love and miss you greatly

The passage of time does assist in healing - but no matter how much time passes - you will forever be a part of my life. 6 years - gone too long but much more than a memory.

Hey there baby and Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!! Its been a while, but you are ALWAYS close to my heart! Wanted to let you know a "bittersweet" situation....... My FAVORITE band is reuniting for 2 shows after 10 years of separation - you KNOW who it is...... This was the FAVORITE part of my life before I met you,... I sooooo wished you were a part of my life back then, and I always WISHED you had an opportunity to see them with me! You would have fallen in love with their music.(as you did just by listening to cds and bootleg shows!).... Bittersweet - you are gone, they are reuniting for some shows..... I want you HERE to see them with me, but selfishly, I'm kind of happy that you did not share that time with me, because I will be able to IMAGINE your JOY if you were there with me for the first time, and not have sorroful memories of "us" seeing them together! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS and I MISS YOU!!!!!! But, I know you are ok, and I am ok too! AML - AML! PS... Please meet up with WUBZ, our screamin cheetah buddy and show him the ropes up there!!! Godspeed!!!!!

Jeffrey- I don't how or why, but I came across your memorial website two days ago. I didn't know and needed to know what happened to you. I just found this guest book. I am so sad. Why, why, why??? Although I hadn't seen you in quite sometime, once and a while over the years, we'd run into each other. And even after all this time, I am still reminded of things we had done, places we had gone. I think of you when certain songs come on the radio. It's kinda crazy when you think about it, but you were a big part of my life. My high school sweetheart, my first love. You were full of life and an amazing person. Please carry that spunk over on the other side. Wishing you and your family Peace!

happy b-day brother
ur with us everyday
american bald eagle savagely graceful,skimming the sky,surveying beneath with a piercing eye,undisputed king menacing up high,for his crown no raptor will vie
rightfully so running scared below,when his radar locks on a meal there's nowhere to go
stealthily approaching affixing his gaze,with cast iron talons the hunted erased
defining freedom no breathing human can attain,a life enhanced in big sky country-unrestricted expanse
forever i can observe as they dance,play-n-prey,a vision burned in memory that'll never go away
as time winds down,before ascending above and if its meant to be,i'd hope for one last chance to ride his lengthy,broad wings to an abysmal,blue sea,in the midst of the enormousness of this element i request they lay me...-KING RAPTOR

We went to mass on Arpil 4, it was awesome, the kids from the Catholic School were all there. The songs were wonderful and we prayed for you and know you are somewhere you need to be. The last song sung was This Little Lite of Mine it has many great versus that our Lord is involved in. We miss you more than you can imagine but I think you know that. The kids are anxious to see us soon and be a part of the Scruggs reunion this year, we'll make that happen!! We know that what happened was an act of desperation we just wish we could have said something more to make you know this wasn't the way to go. You are our first child and we can never forget you or what you gave to our lives. Mom

Andy: Your poems are wonderful. New Guy still has the one you wrote about the "eagle???"... I don't remember but he came home with poems of yours and read them to all of us.... Glad you are here. Glad we talked.... Reach out whenever you need to. Jeff isn't the only one who is loved! As you said... No permanent solutions in a temporary state of mind...... There is a way through... always.... Im finally finding it. Long road....

-jcs-a brother who's flown
black crow wailin' atop the steeple
church bells ringing solemnly
immeshed and singin' the blues
the sea decked in black
tears stain the pews
felt like dyin'
when i got the news
you'd stand for no more/
bury your head,hold on tight
when the brightest of days
seem the darkest of night
don't pay with your life
for fallable,fleeting strife
an utterance carved in cold,gray stone/
late to the service,lost along the way
on the road,in my mind
didn't matter much,for you'd left it all behind/
now you're gone and can not feel
the precision of this horror that's hauntingly real
reverberating wreckage caused by your hand
all one's born days will never heal/
forever forgiven,never forgotten
tho my spirit rises then sinks to the bottom.
miss ya kindred soul
see ya on the other side

Guide me, and help me be free! Forever in my heart, Me!

Hello and Happy 37th birthday Jeffrey Charles! I am celebrating with MAYO for his 38th, and I wish you were here with us. I don't have much to say these days, as you know, just that I am taking the advice, time, and opportunity to find my way again. I can only hope that you have had an opportunity to find your way home. I love you and please help guide me to the next era of my life. Love u forever.
May 21, 2007
Hey baby. Haven't talked to you in a while. I've been thinking about you everyday, and its mostly positive memories. I'm selling the house. I can't be there without you. Its too painful, and I don't belong there. I've been doing a lot better these days, reestablishing my life without you in it. It is so hard sometimes. You changed me forever, and its very difficult to process all of this. I will never forget, but I hope that it will get easier as time goes on. Please keep watching over me and I'll see you again.
You are the love of my life!

Well I have been waiting for a long time for a sign from you, I thought it would be an unusual piece of wood or a penny in the path but tonight we had no rain and when I looked out the window there was a rainbow, I walked out to the front porch and it was not just a single but a double rainbow, I was writing to Jen at the time about you and there you were. I now know you are at peace that you are with God. Thank you, we miss you so much but know we will see you and all our family again. Keep watching over us Jeffrey, until we meet again. Love Mom
May 1, 2007
My mom told me about you coming to visit and helping with Grandfather. Please help him find his way peacefully, hopefully you are providing him extra strength to get through this and let him stay with us a while longer. It hurts so bad this time of year. Springtime! I keep envisioning you in the yard, ripping open a bag of topsoil with your beautiful body, making everything as happy and beautiful as you were! I love u!

Hey Bro,
Okay this is weird but a month or so ago I wrote you and well it obviously never got posted, Which is probably good cause it wasn't very nice maybe you had something to do with that? I don't know but I think you got the message, I said that I wouldn't write again till I had happier thoughts, Well that hasn't happened it has only gotten worse. I need you to some how answer the crazy but yet logical questions I have. I know you know them cause I talk to Dusten alot about them. Please send me a sign to say I am not crazy!!!
I will be waiting! Love ya, Bec
September 27, 2006
Hi Baby! I'm sure you know, and were there to greet her, but our neighbor passed away on Labor Day. I feel aweful! I didn't find out until a week later. I've been having a really hard time staying at the house, since mid August when another free spirit, fisherman, outdoorsman, passionate, great willed person was overcome by the same type of illness as you, and passed away the same way you did.
He left behind a wife of 35 years and a daughter. The pain was overwhelming, like I was experiencing this for the first time. I found myself feeling "lucky" that we didn't have 35 years together because for some reason I feel I may recover easier, and then cry knowing we only had 3.5 years.
I keep thinking of you asking my mother on her 35th wedding aniversary if "we were going to make it that long". I wish you would have kept your promise.
I can only hope that you know what an impact you have had on everyone while here on earth, and I hope that in your next life, you realize what a wonderful person you were.
I'm going to Denver in a couple of weeks and I can't wait to see the in-laws. I'm taking your parents to a broncos game. Sorry sweetheart, you snooze, you lose, but we'll be thinkin about you and I'll be sure to wear the "old school colors".
Come and visit while I'm there! I love you always. Me!

Jeff
Your Dad sure missed you Saturday when Michigan won big against Notre Dame, did you have something to do with that? Dad said they finally win a big one and Jeff isn't here to see it. You would have loved the game. We missed your call saying Go Blue!! But Jen called for you. Rebecca is pregnant, we are hoping you are coming back to be with us if that's possible. We struggle every day not knowing why you did this. We wish we could have talked to you and assured you that nothing was too big that we couldn't have helped you with. We pray that you are at peace and have found your family, Uncle Jimmy, Grandpa Scruggs, Grandma and Grandpa Soehnlein and so many others that are now gone. We miss you and your crazy sayings, and your intensity about life. We love you. Mom

September 5, 2006
Well, BLUE started the season on saturday. Michigan won. I found the pictures of you and I at the "BIG HOUSE". The best picture of you and I, your beautiful blue eyes, and without a silly face aboutcha! I'm trying to sell the truck, and I've been driving it around for the last couple of days. But, I must talk to your buddy Davis who made a comment about the "ding".... Hmmm... You never told me about that! Hahaha! Just like the "pull over" and then u yucked all over the inside of the truck. So many sillies! I miss you so much, and I'm so thankful to have my friends!!!! They through me a "surprise" party at Joey's on Friday night. Dina made me a "boob cake" and we had a big cake fight. The only thing that was missing was you, of course, but your memories and stories made it feel like you were there. Love you & Happy Labor Day!
Davis: I love your stories and I'm glad you keep posting!!!..... We need to get together soon!!!!! Call me!

Hi sweetheart. I can't get you out of my mind this week. I keep waiting for you to come to me. I've been having some dreams about you, about us, and they seem so real! Please help me through. I miss you so much, and I love you more everyday. I hope you were there to meet your Grandpa. I'm comforted to know that you are with him, and he didn't have to make his journey alone. I miss you sweetheart.

Jeffrey
I'm sure you know that Grandpa died on Sunday, we hope you were there to greet him and tell him not to be mad that we never told him that you left us too. We had a wonderful reunion and your picture along with Grandpa Scruggs and Uncle Jim were on the mantle, we said a prayer for all of you and wished you were still with us but know you are in a better place and are waiting for us to meet again. We love you and miss you every day. Mom and Dad

Jeff,
Well I know it is a day later but HAPPY B-DAY. I have had a really tough last couple days. I cried so hard on the 26th like the day I found out about you. I didn't want to think much about you yesterday cause I don't think I could have made it through the day. I Love you and miss you very very very much. My life seems really diffrent with out you here. I know we didn't live close to each other but we talked all the time. I call the house just to hear your voice on the machine. I just can't stop, it brings me some peace to do that. I love you camper!!!!
Love always and forever,
LIL Sis

Happy 36th Birthday Sweetheart! On this day, 36 years ago, the world became a better place because you came into it. Now, the world is very different because you aren't here. My life has been forever changed, but I am so grateful for the time we had. I will celebrate your life today and everyday. I love you and miss you always. Be at peace my baby.....

I finally had a dream of you last night, you were maybe 7 or 8 and so happy, dancing around, you let me hug you but only from the back, you showed me your friends family that had a new baby. It was so real, I could see you through the window but not go in, the hug to you felt so real. I hope you are at peace. We miss you so much. Mom

Hey Sweet Poppi! I just wanted to say hi today. Its weird how the days go on and on, but I am still holding out hope that you will come back to me in some way. I miss you so much sometimes that it's overwhelming. Then, other days, I find the time to smile & laugh, and I need to know that you are ok with that. I love you more and more everyday! We were supposed to grow old together like On Golden Pond. Our retirement home in the woods near a lake, you fishing with all of our doxie's, our life together. I struggle with not having you next to me and I love you so much! Please talk to me sweetheart!

Store 2 will be coming soon watch over me I will need your help on this one we all will!

If tears contained knowledge, I’d know too much.
If love is blind, I never could see.
If pain could raise the dead, on the third day you would be two.
If time heals all wounds, this one needs an era.
If an answer followed every question, I’d never again ask why.
If children are innocent, you were never guilty.
If music was your voice heard, You’ll always be with me.
If a word could describe you, -SHAKALAY!_
My friend, my brother, my sister,
You don’t know how many times I’ve been sitting on my couch
looking at the front door.
I’m waiting to see you,........ leaning over, looking through the window, making a dumb face, like you did every time! My children jumping three feet off the ground knowing fun times were ahead, music would be plenty, laughter in abundance, and -big Jeffy hugs- to go around(I think my back is still feeling the last hug). I miss you Jeffrey, I do. You spliced into my life, my heart, my soul, for that, I am everyday sad. For that, I am elated and thankful.
For that, I am missing a part of myself.
I know I cannot change what has happened, but not one day passes that I do not WISH I could.
I’ll be here for you Jeff, any time, any day.
You call on me Pal, I’m HERE!
“Looked out today, the sky was falling, falling from my eyes.
So I fell on the floor as I decided, to take a ride, take a ride.......”

Hey Poppi! We launched the boat this weekend. It took all I had to help with the launch, but when I got on the boat, it felt good. It was a beautiful weekend, and it hurts so bad looking at everything on this earth, because of your passion for all that the earth provides. I've been listening to Phish again, and I taught Lulu how to play Cribbage so I can still play. I miss you terribly. Everyday! So many more people are dying around me right now. I've lost two more people in the last month. I Hope you are looking out for them! (Gary and Jeff). I just wanted to say I love you today, and I miss you!

Jeff,
I never thought I'd be talking to you like this. You touched many, You touched me. You always had something funny to say and some funny face to go along with it. You made friends with anybody, and loved many, and many who loved you. I am sorry you cut your journey short. I wish we could have had more laughs together. You were the life of the party, I am sure your the same where your at now. You Rocked!!! I'll catch you on the flip side. Peace out CAMPER! Dusten

Dear Jeffrey,
I have a picture of you and me together when you were just a baby, it always makes me smile. You were such a Precious Baby Boy. I look forward to seeing you in Paradise along with the rest of our family.I thank our Heavenly Father for that hope of everlasting life in paradise forever. It makes the pain of losing you now, a bit easier to bare.

Little Jeff,...I look at your pictures and can't believe your gone. I still have our picture on the mantel when we were young. I'm still trying to find the answers. I hope you found your's. I miss you, and will SO miss seeing you at our family events. You will never be forgotten and I will always have our childhood memories to keep me smiling. I hope your voice improved up there....Rocky Racoon was pitiful when we kareoked (sp?) to it. Love you always. Aunt Julie

Hey Sweet Baby. It's me again. Yesterday was easter. You asked me to marry you two years ago on that lovely day. I can't help thinking and wondering what changed your mind. I don't know why you left. I can feel your sweet touch, the way you held me and made me feel safe, and the way you kissed me so gently. I love you everyday and I need to know that you are finally at peace and that you have reached your resting place. Please talk to me!

Jeff: You completed my entire life. You were the one piece that was missing, and you made me the happiest person in the four years we were together. I don't know what to do, I don't know how to move on, and I don't know how to let you go. I never will. I love you my poppy! You were everything to me!!!! I love you! Everyday!
