“Say not in grief ‘he is no more’ but in thankfulness that he was.” I’m thankful that I had a wonderful “baby brother”, that Jeff loved and was loved and respected by his family and many friends. We should all treasure the memories and love we have for Jeff and be thankful that we had him in our lives. Jeff’s passing leaves an empty space in our hearts but we all know that the world is a better place because we had him in our lives. May you Rest In Peace and know that you are loved.
