Please know that we are thinking about you and praying for your family in the loss of your Dad, and Granddad. While we never met your Dad, Jeff, we know that he must have been a wonderful father and faithful servant of God--because we know you, who epitomize these qualities. Take solace in the fact that you, Laura, Sarah and Rachel, continue your Dad's loving legacy of serving family and the people of God. Peace and blessings, Doreen & Tony
