To Chris & Joel's Family's,

I was very sorry to read about your loss. Although we have not seen each other for a long time and I remember Jeffery when he was very small but that picture brought back memories of his infectious smile from long ago. My deepest sympathy is with you and my support for the future.
May a hug from an old friend embrace you all.

To the family and friends of Jeffery Mcllean from Toya and Karen. I knew very little about Jeff, but I got a new vibe of eclectic in the distance. The feeling that solidifies every word he said because you knew he would not lie, that deja vu you get from his smile behind it because you knew it was genuine. I knew he loved his family and friends mom, pop, JJ, Lisa, so many i can't possibly know or list...but I'm sure your hearts are all bleeding and I'd like to express my deepest sympathy and very warmest thought to you all. My prayers are eternally with you...no words can summarize such a great lost. Although I knew him very little, I now feel this big hole in my heart that will likely only hold his memory and smile; but just so you know you're not alone and you've all done a fine job at molding or contributing to the life of a beautiful soul...even in a brief passing by he touched my spirit. "I'm the realest ______! Ain't no ______ in me!" -Jeff I hope this often heard quote can make some of you smile. Those friends who knew him well know exactly how to fill in the blanks and also know that it's true. You're the best Jeff, you will be missed.
All my love and prayers Toya and Karen.
