Mr. Rice, you were the most helpful, considerate neighbor my mom and I have ever had in regards to the upkeep of our lawn. We came home to our bushed hedged and our grass cut because you wanted to help us keep up our lawn. My mom and I will forever be grateful for your character.

Linda and family,
The world lost a wonderful person. While most of my contact with Jeff was in the earlier years, He left a lasting impression with me. I am lucky to have had a friend as good as He. I have included your family in our prayer group at church and hope you find peace and healing soon.
