Carmel, Jillian, Lee, and Jaclyn
We are so very sorry for your loss, there are no words that I can put together to help you at this time. But I just wanted to express to you how much Jeff loved each and everyone of you, and how so very proud he was of you also.
Jeff was a good friend that no matter what would be there to help you, and in my case, bail my dumb butt out of jail in Chicago, on a Saturday morning, at 3 am. We would reconnect every so often, and after the customary ribbing, we would spend the next hour or so catching up.
