Miss you forever.
Love,
Mom and Dad
Love and miss you. Sher.
Life holds for us so many turns; this earth is only one
Just think of him as resting from all sorrows and all tears,
In a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days or years
Think of him as living in our hearts he touched so much --
for nothing loved is ever lost and he was loved so much.
Miss you, Jeff
Forever missed, and forever loved.
Miss you every day, Jeff.
And darkness falls at night.
But nothing now seems quite the same;
Each day is not as bright.
The birds still sing; the flowers grow
The breeze still whispers too
But it will never, ever be
The same world without you.
It’s so sad that you had to go
Your leaving caused such pain
But you were very special
And earth’s loss is Heaven’s gain.

Love, Sher.
"In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all...
it comes with bitterest agony...
Perfect relief is not possible, except with time.
You cannot realize that it will ever feel better...
And yet this is a mistake.
You are sure to be happy again.
To know this which is certainly true,
will make you some less miserable now.
I have had experience enough to know what I say."
..................Abraham Lincoln, also born on this day in 1809
'Til we meet again,
Love, mom and dad
Love,
Mom and Dad
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn and a time to dance.
Ecclesiastes 3: 1 - 4
I wish you were here so we could share experiences and memories. I will always remember you as that bright, nice ,initially shy boy who so much enjoyed my visits to Kane particularly during Christmas when we would do things together. We miss you. Ed
For love itself lives on.
And cherished memories never fade
Because a loved one’s gone.
Those we love can never be
More than a thought apart,
For as long as there is memory
They’ll live on in our hearts.”

and bring us stormy weather;
but a compliment tucked in the heart
can heal it back together."

Bible Verses
This year Jeff’s birthday is on a Sunday. As I sat in Church this morning I thought about him and remembered how much he liked Sunday School. He loved the activities and parties and always took everything that the teacher said to heart. One summer morning when he was very young I got a phone call asking me if I knew anything about all the bible verses in the neighbors’ mailboxes. I knew nothing about it but hadn’t gotten my mail yet and said I would check on it. When I saw the Bible verse in our mailbox I immediately recognized the handwriting. When I asked Jeff about it he said his Sunday School teacher told him to tell everybody about Jesus so he had taken it upon himself to do just that!
Mystery solved
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free, I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard his call, I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way, I've found that peace at the end of the day.
If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah, yes, these things too I will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free.
