Dear Family and Friends,
I have been friends with the Quay family since 1990. We did a lot of picnics, graduations, and Sunday morning brunches at the Lodge, to name a few. The last time I saw Jeff was Thanksgiving. I was thankful to be there. With a heavy heart we will gather to say goodbye, Saturday morning. Peace to everyone who has lost a father/husband. Jeffery you were a great man who helped other. Amen.
