To the Dampier Family



I am so sorry. I pray that GOD would be your comfort during this time and the adjustments that are to come. I pray that each of you would talk to GOD about how you feel: that you would give GOD your questions, your anger, your grief, your confustion, and your desire for direction. I can offer you words of comfort but only GOD will see you through what is ahead. May you never stop praying to GOD no matter how you feel.

You all are being lifted up in prayer.

To the Dampier Family,



When we learned of this tragedy, our hearts were filled with such sadness. I will keep you all in my prayers at this time I know the days may not seem as bright but know that there will come a time when it won’t be so dark and you will be able to smile. I have missed you all, growing up on Ohio was a great place to be because everyone was willing to help in some way and that is why losing Jeff is so difficult for us all because he was the epitome of that later statement. From my husband (Johnny Jr.)and my self you have our deepest sympathy and from my parents Sammie & Annie Hightower - they are praying for the entire family and their hope is one day you will be able to find peace.



With Love,

I will pray for you and your children today and forever. Remember you have not lost him forever, if you believe in God you know one day you will see him again. For now he will always be in your heart, and yes you can meet him everytime you want to in your dreams. May God bless you, lots of love for all your kids and grandchildren,

To the Dampier Family:

I had the opportunity to do business with Jeffery several years ago, which enabled him to open his present business now. From that moment on we became personal friends that I will always treasure for the rest of my life.

Jeff was there for me in prayer when I was having some personal problems, and I will always be there for the Dampier Family.



The world has lost a great person with a heart of gold. Jeff you will truly be missed.



Your friend in prayer,

Jadene Nelson

July 31, 2005

This is Jadene, I cannot began, to say how deeply hurt I am over the lost of Lil’ Jeff my childhood friend & next-door neighbor. I am just totally, speechless of the hurt that the family has to experience at this time. I can remember only happy times we shared when we were kids. How we use to play-ball all the time and how he would pick me to be on his team. How we shared many conversations on the porch, hoping for only the best for each other. Now it’s time for me to say goodbye to my next-door neighbor. I will always love the Dampier family and my prayers will continue to be with you all, as you grieve this huge lost. I will always remember my childhood friend & next-door neighbor. You will be missed greatly! Remember, Psalms 126:5 they that sow in tears shall reap in JOY.
Love always, Jadene, (husband-John) Alicia & Keyana.

Crystal & Family- I am a part of your Progressive family. I want you to know that when we were all told of the awful news, there was an absolute and strong outpouring of "what can we do?", "Is there anything Crystal and her family need?" etc. You are surrounded not only by your close family and friends, but a huge support network at Progressive. You are one of our own.

There is a void in your life right now that may seem to take over at times.In time, that void will become smaller- filled with love and strength and memories.You are loved, and you are strong. When you don't feel very strong just reach out and I promise someone, if not many people will hold you up and bring a smile to your face.We will get you through this awful thing.God Bless you, you ARE in my prayers. Caroline, Team 575

There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.



Even in laughter the heart may ache,and joy may end in grief.



The faithless will be fully repaid for their ways,and the good man rewarded for his.



Proverbs 14:12-14



May God forever Bless you and keep you!

You're blessed when you've lost it all.

God's kingdom is there for the finding...

You're blessed when the tears flow freely.

Joy comes with the morning.

And always remeber My Brothers and Sisters that:

Yes, because GOD's your refuge, the HIGH GOD your very own home,

Evil can't get close to you, harm can't get through the door. He ordered his angels to guard you wherever you go..

I love you all with the love of our LORD Jesus Christ.
