To a wonderful man. Though you are gone, you're in the hearts and thoughts if many. Lucky, are those who had the opportunity to know you. I know you blessed my life.

Goes back to May, 1993, when we moved to Oceanside, CA on Nighthawk Way.  When we were moving in, we looked over at your driveway and there was a pop up camper/tent that was opened and all of you were sitting in it (Mom, Dad, yourself and Grandma Betty) We came over to introduce ourselves and when we met all you, I thought what a great family and good neighbors to have.  As we got to know you all, we sure enjoyed our company together. 

As you mentioned in your story, your Dad was a very kind, gentle, and funny man.  Was a great story-teller.  I know that your Mom said when you were born, he was ecstatic and so blessed to have you in his life. You were his little girl.  Didn't know much about all the movies he liked but I sure learned a lot more about your Dad by reading the stories.

Good memories with good neighbors.  And we can't forget the block parties on 4th of July.  Those were the best.  

We know that your Dad had suffered with his illness.  Going through treatments had to be tough on him, but he pulled through.  We were sad to hear of his passing and he will be missed.  Know that you and your Mom are in our prayers.  We have been lighting candles for you Dad and praying for him as well.  

Take care and May God give you comfort and strength through this most difficult time.

Your ole neighbors, Mike and Natalie  ❤️❤️

"Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there is injury; pardon.  Where there is doubt; faith.  Where there is despair; hope.  Where there is darkness; light.  Where there is sadness; joy."

Okay! so I'm not much of a movie person.   I find it hard to sit still. The first movie Jeff took me to see was the midnight showing of "Monty Python And The Holy Grail". First I thought...who goes out at midnight to see a movie?  Because it  was early in our courtship, I told him it sounded like a great idea. I lied. I had no idea what the movie was about, or anything about British humor.  So....I just laughed when Jeff laughed.  He laughed the hardest when the guy gets both legs and an arm cut off.  Jeff then repeated outloud laughing "its only a flesh wound".  So I learned to laugh because Jeff had such an infectious laugh. This wonderful man introduced me to so many adventures that I had never experienced.  Travel, dining, movies, tennis, golf, skiing, and fishing on the lake in New Hampshire. He shared so many wonderful business friends he had met on his travels. Always called when out of town to check on me and of course to give his love and a kiss to Stephanie.  So many other memories but my most recent was about a month ago when he helped me in Home Depot make a new key and find a special key chain. We laughed about a few old stories and friends who have stayed in touch. He always took the time to help anyone and everyone at anytime. A truly selfless man, husband, and father.

Thank you Jeff for the many wonderful memories and our precious daughter
Stephanie Allison Taylor.  You will be missed....but have left us each with a part of you in our hearts forever.
