Jeff's short stay here in Costa Rica will be long remembered for he was able to shine, leaving a strong memory in those of us who had the chance to know him. Words won't be enough to show gratitude for what he gave us or pain for his passing away. We are completely sure that he is enjoying God's glory. We know so because angels can only go to Heaven.

Bob & Kathy & family:
I am so sorry for your loss and cannot imagine the pain & sadness you are dealing with. Our son, Zac, was friends with Jeff back in grade school & they loved to play basketball at our house, all dressed in one of many NBA jerseys we had. May you find peace in knowing that Jeff was such a wonderful, caring person, who gave and did so much in such a short time.

A veces tenemos la dicha de conocer personas muy especiales, que con su presencia iluminan la vida, que con una sonrisa nos hacen sentir mejor.
Y de repente un dia ya no están mas a nuestro lado y solo nos queda el calor de los recuerdos para mitigar el dolor de perderlos.
