There is nothing anyone can say or do to make this go away. There are no answers and no explanations to even try to help understand this. Just know that, just as Jeff was always there for all of his friends when they needed him, we are all here if you need us. Jeff was one of the good guys and although he is gone he will never be forgotten. RIP buddy. If there is anything we can do just let us know lisa. Jason and Jeanette

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you during this trying time. I met Jeff only three years ago. He was a great guy and would do almost anything for you. Cherish your fond memories that you all created with Jeff while he was here with us. Lean on family and friends for support, we will help you through this. Jeff was to young to leave us here on Earth, however God must have better plans for him in eternal life away from the pain and suffering. He is now a guardian angel and will always be watching over us. RIP Jeff.

My deepest sympathy to Lisa and Jeff's family and friends. I didn't know him long at all, but, he seemed to be a very caring and sensitive man. I asked him one day if I could pray for him and he said yes with a smile and I did everyday since we met in our treatments back in October. May God Bless him and Keep him. With my deepest sympathy.
