    Jeff’s last words to my husband – about an hour before his death – were “I’ll see ya later, Bro.” He had that big smile, like he always did. So many people loved Jeff. He always made you feel good, just to see him coming. He was always happy, always had that smile.

    Our prayers are with you – his family – that God will give you the peace that passes all understanding in this time of incredible pain. How tragic for you that you lost him so soon and so suddenly – but how wonderful for him that he didn’t suffer, that he died happy and healthy – and went straight to paradise and now he’s walking and talking with his Lord and Savior, in a place so wonderfully incredible that we can’t begin to imagine it.

    We’ll see you later, Bro. When we get there.
