I think of you a lot and remember how much fun we had on the river. I wish as we grew older, we could have remained in closer contact. I miss that amazing smile!! 

Theresa, I hope that you see this. My father and mother are Rusty and Carrol Putis and lived in Ocklawaha when you did. Jeffrey was my best friend back in that day and talked to him right before he passed away. I am just finding this along with Gary's obituary tonight and my heart is hurting to see what I have just found out.  If you would call or text me, I would appreciate it so much. I hope that you have found some sort of peace with Jeffrey and I can only imagine your grief now, with Gary. My dad is upset to hear of Gary's passing as well. It's 816-799-6124

I miss you every day and I love you more in each breath I take every day. I miss you when something really good happens, because you were the one I wanted to share it with. I miss you when something is troubling me, because you were the one who understood me so well. I miss you when I laugh & cry because I know that you were the one that made my laughter grow and my tears disappear.
