To the Friends and Family of Jeff Meek,

Dear Mitzi Brick and Jeffrey's brother and sister, I was Jeffrey's second grade teacher at Pinewood. To this day I can see his shining eyes and I remember well his enthusiasm. He was an exceptional person way back then. You have again suffered a terrible loss in your family. My hope for you is that the wonderful memories that you have of Jeffrey will help eventually to ease the grief of losing him. I am so very sorry. (I prefer writing a real note but do not know your address...please accept this mode of communication.) Sincerely, Cathie Perga

My son Rory and Jeff were senior year roommates at UCSB. Rory described the senior year spent living on Del Playa with Jeff and the other boys as the "most amazing year ever." I met Jeff only once, at the boys graduation party in the park (what a wonderful day) but he will live on through Rory and the other guys from the DP house. Blessings and heartfelt prayers to you all,
Renay Davis

Mitzi, Linds and Andy,

I am so sorry for what you are all going through. Jeff was a wonderful person. His sense of humor will always be remembered and missed. Although I hadnt seen Jeff in a very long time, I look at the recent pictures of him and Linds and that personality still stands out so much as it did when he was a young boy. Draw from the strength of your family... You are all extremely strong and loved by all. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Mitzi,

We were so sorry to hear of the death of Jeff. Be assured that our whole family has your family in our prayers.
Brian was shocked (as were we) to hear the news.
We all still remember him on the Los Altos Little League Team. We loved watching all those wonderful boys play and will remember Jeff's great smile!

God Bless you at this very difficult time.....The Simoni Family
