David, Teresa, and Cradduck Family:
Please know I'm thinking of you all and praying for you after Jeff's passing. Your parents were two of the nicest people I ever got to know in my practice, and they were always so much fun to see in the office! They loved their family dearly, and were very proud of their family! May your hearts be filled with wonderful memories of a great man. Blessings, Charlie
