I had known Jeffery since 1983 when we all moved to Meadville Ms. I spent a lot of time with him. He was and always will be my little monkey. I loved that kid as if he were my own and a piece of my heart was taken that day. I will always love and miss you!!! 

I miss you dad. I didn't know you well, I think I was too young to fully process what had happened and I still don't think I've processed it as an adult. I wonder how different my life would've been if you were still around. There are days when I can't really stop thinking about it. It's been so long. There have been so many things going on recently and I just wonder if it all could've been different. I know you have probably been seeing me grow to be an adult but I wish you were here physically that way I could've gotten to know you better. You will always be missed. Even if with time, It's only me and little Jeff, You won't be forgotten. I have pictures of you now and I am getting learn about who you were more everyday. I don't think anyone will really look back at this message and honestly I don't know why I am writing it but. I love you. And I hope you got the peace you needed in the after life. Blessed be.

Every time I look at Jeffery, Jr I see him! He would be so proud of his children! In my minds eye, I see him riding his bike up and down in front of the house.
