The family wishes to extend their gratitude to INONTIME for all the constant support and love through his journey. We would also like to thank all of you who were vital in making sure Jeff was taken care of, whether that was taking him to appointments, picking him up from appointments, providing meals, groceries, supplies, sitting with him while Nancy went to work, taking him for drives to get out of the house, praying with him, reading to him, making him laugh and countless other blessings. We are so grateful and overwhelmed by the support, love, kindness and giving nature of everyone in our community. He was a man who loved to connect with people, so all the visits were very vital during his last days. Our lives were filled with your kindness and will not be forgotten. Thank you from our very full hearts.

Isaiah 55: 10-11As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: it will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
