I miss my brother terribly, he Vicki and the children have been such an inspiration. We know Jeff is now walking in Heaven. He witnessed the love of our LORD to everyone he came in contact with...he has been a gift to all of us, and we are praising GOD for loving him so much.

To my wonderful family,
As I drove to work today in the snow I couldn't help but think of Uncle Jeff. Although we are all in so much pain missing him, I know that he is in a far better place than us. He was meant to be with God. I love him so much. Just remember we will all see him again. Until that day it's not goodbye, it's see you later Uncle Jeff!
Also, I love you all!

There is a movie titled "It's A Wonderful Life" in which a man comes to realize the profound effect his life had upon others. After watching that film just last night, I thought of Jeff and the extent of his reach upon others. I take great pride in having known this special person and having witnessed the wonderful life he has provided my daughter Vicki and my grandchildren Danielle and Jeremy.
