So sorry to read about Jeffrey. Many years ago - right out of high school (Slatington High 1971) - I worked with Jeffrey in the mailroom at Alpo. He was a very nice kid with beautiful eyelashes. I left Alpo about one year later to take my dream job at Bethlehem Steel. I often wondered what happened to him after they closed the offices.
My condolences to all of you during this difficult time. Thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Take care and God Bless!
