My thoughts are with you all at this time of loss.
Our brother taught us many things but one thing he forgot his how to let him go
It will never be goodbye he will always be in our hearts
The laughter he brought to many
The loved he shared with all
Though we won’t see him we know he will be near
And if we listen with our hearts we will hear all his love around us
Soft and clear
His memory is our keepsake with which it will never part we love you Jeff with all our heart!
Call we love you best!!!!!!
It was a pleasure working with Jeff at GE. He was a great worker, great leader, and a friend to many people. He always took pride in in his job, did things to the best of his ability. I am going to miss our chats, talking about most anything. He was a good man. He loved his family, talked about his kids and family all the time.
My deepest sympathy and prayers to his family.
Carrie,
