We are all so sorry to hear of Jeff passing on. He brought a bit of sunshine whenever he came into our office--even on rainy gloomy days. We will miss his cheery visits. Our hope is that your hurt will lessen a bit each day and the void you feel now will be filled with many happy memories of Jeff.

Michelle, I remember both our Jeff's talking about each others cancer and it was good for them to talk about it and it seemed like it helped them both knowing they weren't alone. I just want you to know that my thoughts are with you and the kids and if there is anything that you need any time just let me know and I will be there. This is one of the hardest things you will ever have to go through. But you are stronge women and will get through it. Love and Prayers
