I will forever carry a very heavy heart and will always feel like a puzzle with missing pieces. All I've ever wanted was to have a family, since I was kept away from everyone. I tried my best as an adult to create the missing relationships I never had and longed for. You accepted me with nothing but love and open arms. Hearing the genuine love in your voice for me was everything I'd hoped for. I'm so sorry our relationship couldn't start sooner. You have always been my favorite and I appreciate you loving me. I know my Dad regrets so much, the pain on his face when I had to tell him about you was heartbreaking. I know he loves and misses you too, the way he smiles when he shares stories about you and Kevin growing up. I'm sorry I didn't write here sooner. Everytime I'd try, I'd start crying uncontrollably. I miss our phone conversations and messages. I actually still have the last texts you sent. I know you're watching over me and I just hope I make you proud. I love you. 

My favorite Uncle

I was [ how you felt ] when I heard the news of Jeffrey's passing.

When I met Jeff he was so personable, warm and made me feel like I’d known him forever. He truly loved Cheryl and their boys so very much and was so very proud of them and now his precious grandson.  A wonderful man left way too soon as he had so much love to give. My prayers are with Cheryl and their boys and know that through this extremely difficult time God will carry them through until they are forever reunited with Jeff.  Love you guys!

My deepest condolences to you Cheryl and the family may he RIP 

Gone to soon my friend..Thank you for your everlasting friendship . Myself and my family  will treasure it always.. Rest in Peace Jeff...Sending you hugs and prayers to you and your family... Im gonna miss talking to you...

Although I had only met the Love’s once, they showed me so much love and respect and welcomed me into their home with open arms. He will be missed by so many and he will live on through everyone who loved him.
