Peter and Family,
My heart goes out to all of you in the loss of Jeff. No parent should ever have to bury their child. This I understand so well. The road to healing is not easy.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, but love leaves a memory that no one can steal.
May you find peace in remembering all of the great times you shared.
God bless you all
Kay( Cross Blacklock) and Family
