Dear Wendy, Wayne, Jeff's loving children and all my cousins...I am so deeply sadden by Jeff's passing. I have faith to know he is in very good hands, being happily greeted by all those who went to prepare his way, as they will for us someday. Still, just as Paul, much to young for us to fully understand, but God's plan?...He needed them more than we do. They will be missed, never forgotten and you are always in my prayers.
Love Linda Lee
