February 8, 2009

Today we lost Jeff unexpectedly to Jesus. We will greatly miss him, his humor, his laugh, his quietness, his wisdom and most of all his love.

He was our life. I am forever indebted to his friend and mentor, Mike Stowe, for witnessing to Jeff the love of Christ and hope of heaven. I only found out the day before his service that he had accepted Christ. Knowing this has made everything bearable and I feel that I can now carry on knowing I will see him again.


Reflecting on the past 20 years with him has been both joyful and tearful. I have now been given the responsibility to continue his legacy, his dreams for the boys and his memory. I only hope and pray that God will give me the strength and ability to do that.
We miss you so much and can't wait to meet up with you again!

It seems that I have been just a wee bit busy lately. But actually found some time to do a couple of updates. Could hardly see by the time I did this one because I was crying so hard.
