Laura and family,
It took me a while to write this, but I think about you and Jeff every day. I am so happy we got to see him before he passed and spend time with you all as well. We have so many fond memories of Jeff, too many to mention. From times at the Base, our visit to Missouri, our wedding and yours, visits to Florida, how he called me Rosie, which few people do, the list goes on. I was just recommending a brewery in Fort Myers to my sister and teared up because I remember meeting Jeff there after he got out of work and how great it was to see him. You are always in our thoughts, and we promise not to be strangers.
Love Rosie

Oh Laura i am so sorry. I remember how happy you were when you first met Jeff on that "blind date" it was "Jeff" "Jeff" "Jeff" after that first day and i told you that you would marry him. Remember when you were driving me and the girls to the airport on our way the Germany and you stopped at the ATM and Jeff was i the car behind us......almost late for my flight. And of course there is the. " she´s having my baby " altra sound video.....you were so happy. You were blessed with 38 + years and many wonderful memories.
