I just found out that Jeff passed away. I'm shocked and saddened. I taught him at vacation Bible School when we went to Middle Smithfield Presbyterian Church years ago. He was such a sweet young man and a friend to Elizabeth in high school. My heart goes out to his family who must miss him terrible. Rest in peace until we meet again.
