Jeff passed Sunday night, Jan. 20th, peacefully enveloped in my arms. He was surrounded by love and like the rock
that he was he fought with everything he had to stay. He loved life and
breathed deep every minute he had. The world has a lot less laughter, beauty
and heart in it today with him not here.
Thank you for all your kind
words, gifts of peace and healing, and compliments of what a wonderful man he was. He will be missed
something fierce.
Jeff was known for his kind and gentle spirit, uncompromising
work ethic, tall good looks, humor and always happy nature. He was a man who touched the hearts and minds
of all those who had the pleasure of knowing him personally and in business. He was tirelessly selfless and compassionate
to all. He loved his wife like none
other and many referred to them as Mr. & Mrs. America, and he was a loving
and dedicated father. He loved life, the
great outdoors and was an avid hunter and collector. Fearless and loving he made the most of every
moment and challenged each of us to do the same in his quiet and non-judgmental
way. In his later years he took up
making custom hunting knives and usually had more orders than he could
fill. His beautiful spirit will be
missed by all that loved him. This world
will have a lot less laughter, beauty and heart in it today with him not here. Our hearts and especially mine will ache until we meet him again.

Soozee, I am so very sorry. In your grief though, remember you were lucky to have met him, loved him and loved by him, held him and had him.
No words to express the feelings, Soozee. I just want to gently lift your heart from you and hold it 'til it's healed. You have experienced such a gift. If you had not known such enormous love you would not now be experiencing such enormous grief. I know this for sure. love, Donna
So devastated to hear this, SooZe. Sending much love - saying goodbye is so very hard.
S-just so saddened; such a beautiful tribute of love to and for Jeff; the temple bell of peace gongs for him and you; and our love reaches out to you. F&B
I´m sorry for your loss, SooZe. My deepest sympathy.
I fear that anything else I write might sound trite.

My Friends: your heartfelt words are appreciated and held close in what may be the darkest, loneliest place I have ever found myself. Every day is a struggle for me and an emptiness I still cannot comprehend. I've been grateful to those that have never left me alone since last Sunday. Without them.... well not sure where I'd be. Thank you all for being so caring and at a time of great despair so compassionate. xxxooo
Oh my dear SooZe, I am so so sad for your loss. I wish there was something I could say to comfort you. Holding you in my thoughts and sending love and strength. xoxo
Just checking in to see how you're doing?

I have been out of the blog loop raising teenagers and I come by to visit and find this devastating news. My heart is broken for you. I am sending angels to be with you today and in the painful days ahead as you begin to live life so very differently than before, You can do this my friend. You are strong and beautiful. God needs you here for awhile longer until you can be with your honey again. Please know I will be praying for you.
