Dear Family,
It was a sad morning yesterday when I saw Jeff's obituary. I was a fellow classmate of Jeff's at Forest Hill and when I saw his name the picture that came to my mind after all these years was his smile. We were not close friends but we hung out in the same crowd. I knew him to be kind and generous, a nice person. So tall and smart, too. Our world has lost a bright, shining star but heaven has gained a beautiful angel. All of you are in my thoughts and Jeff will always be in my heart.
