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. We will all meet again in Heaven...and what a reunion that will be!

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.

I was shocked to hear of the passing of Jeff. I remember you all from my childhood. The three of you were our baby-sitters. I believe Jeff was one year ahead of me in school. I pray for your family, that you will find peace in this sorrowful time. God Bless all of you.
