Dear Elida and Abby,
I just heard of Jeff's passing, and I am so sorry for your loss. The back row pew at CTK will not be the same without him. God Bless you both during this time and may the comfort of your faith find you counting your blessings with Jeff as you continue your journey in life until you all meet again.

Alida & Abby,

When my father passed away the following was submitted on his guest book by an anonymous person. I trust you will find some comfort from the words.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I will always love you.

Elida,

I just want to say I'm so sorry for your loss. I know what Jeff meant to you and Abby, but cherish your memories of him and hold him dear to your hearts. As I looked around at the services today, I can tell Jeff touched a lot of people and brought joy into their lives. He was just that type of person, and I'm glad I got to see that smile of his once again not knowing that would be my last time. Take comfort in knowing he is smiling on you and Abby, and we know you loved him dearly, but God loved him best. Take care my dear friend.

It's very sad to hear of this having spent many years at Gillette working
with Jeff.He always prided himshelf in doing the right thing and would
always do more than his fair share.
Lee, I'm sorry that we didn't cross paths more often here in Chetek.
but maybe this Summer Lee.
You have my condolences.
