Jeff’s family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Words cannot describe how truly sorry we are about Jeff’s passing. Although we only knew Jeff for a couple of years, he made a huge impact on our lives. Every day he would put a smile on our faces with some kind of story he would tell or witty comment he would make. He was very crafty and definitely “thought outside the box”. He will be missed greatly. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jeff’s family during this very difficult time.
Tanya We are so sorry for your loss. I know he will be missed. Prayers for all the family. William and Taylor loved him so much; they will miss him .God bless all of you.
Rest in peace my friend
