Leslie and family - I am so sorry to hear about Jeff's passing. My prayers for comfort and strength are with your entire family during this time. The last time Jeff was at Mom's house (which was a while ago) to hang her Christmas lights he was a trooper....very frail and thin but always enthusiastic to hang her lights just right. If you ever need to talk or get together, just give me a call. Hopefully you still have the number from all our get together's post retirement.
