Dear Linda, David, Kevin and Kerry,
My heart goes out to you and all of your beloved family members. I trust that you’ll celebrate the wonderful and loving man that Jeff is, for as long as you keep him alive within yourselves he will always be with you. I hold dear to my heart his lifting smile and soft spoken ways. And least I add his jovial Santa Claus laugh! Never an ill word spoken from his lips I have treasured memories of a peaceful caring man that I am blessed to have had in my life. Not with you in person but in spirit – Love, Cindy
