In lieu of flowers your presence is most important.
Jeff you have been an inspiration to many and have helped so many people. Us included. This is just shocking and so hard for all of us that loved you. We must remember that God took you home for a reason , his reason. We MUST not question Gods will, but celebrate that you are now in Heaven and have the ability to help so many more of us. Yes it is hard for us to lose you but I know in my heart that someday we will meet again. We thank you Jeff for all you have given of yourself. We love you and will miss you Until we meet again my friend. God Bless you. Peace and love to your family and your extended family always.
I couldn’t be prouder of a brother that has changed and helped so many people. You always had a great smile on your face and a funny story to share with me and our family functions. Jeff, you will be missed by me and the whole family. I love you, bro.
Dear Jeff,
I just found out you are no longer with us! I am so sorry. One of my first C.A. meetings back in 89 you spoke and had a notebook with you and read some of your writings. It blew me away and I haven’t been the same since. Might not have even stayed sober back then without your speaking at Grace church that Friday night. What a great, loving soul you have. I think of you often and smile. You inspired me to write! 🙂 Got me in touch with my Spirit that was so lost back then. You helped me find it! May you rest peacefully and know you are not forgotten. and your work here on Earth touched many.
It is because Jeff had the solution for a disease that unfortunately takes so many of us while we’re in the depths of despair and hopelessness, and he carried this message to so many others over the decades, we will continue to hear his voice throughout the rooms by those who had been privileged to be taken through our course of action by him. No words can truly console the emptiness left in the hearts of those whose lives have been touched by Jeff; howbeit, it is through faith, all should be comforted in knowing he rests in eternal peace free from the human condition. We can rejoice in the hope and all the beautiful memories Jeff has given us.
My deepest sympathy and condolences to Jeff’s family and close friends. As an outside contractor to Leader Paper I worked closely with Jeff on numerous projects. We developed a great working relationship. Although I was glad to see him be able to retire, I was sad that I would no longer see him on a regular basis. Jeff was a hard working conscientious man and carefully watched the employers bottom line. I regret that I could not make it to the memorial service, but I will always carry the fond memories with me.
