Connie you and the girls are in my thoughts and prayers. I can imagine how hard this is but he’s at peace now. You were so devoted to him and I know he knew that. He had the best care with you. We will all miss him for sure. I’m sure Michael Ray was waiting for him. It’s so hard to believe we are losing our precious friends so early in life. God had great plans for them. If I can ever do anything to help please just reach out. When you are ready we will all have to get together for some girl time.
My sincere condolences goes out to the family and friends of our dear Jeff. We worked together for a great number of years at the Aileen factory in Flint Hill. He was quite the prankster and was always kidding around with Louise and myself. You never knew what him and the boys was planning to pull on us at any given time. I am so grateful that God gave me the opportunity to have had this blessed young man as a part of my life. Rest in peace my dear friend.
Until we meet again.

Connie I’m sorry but you know he is not suffering. Grandma Minnie loved her Jeff. We use to come up every Sunday to see the family after we we left Chester Gap. Y’all were a wonderful family. I know your family and friends are open arms for you. You will be missed. Say hi to Grandma Minnie and others for me. I will always remember your memories of the days when we were together.
