Jerri,
I was saddened to hear of your loss, and although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear, just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer. Losing someone is never easy especially at such a young age. I am really sorry for your loss.
Jeff was a kind soul and giving spirit touched so many and will never be forgotten. I am at a loss of words, and I don’t know what to say to you to help you feel better. Please accept my condolences anyway. At times like these you have to lean on your faith and try to accept that God has a bigger purpose for us.
I'll always remember when we were finally able to meet during the Christmas morning live segments, and he wanted a reference photo of my shoes for a painting later. He seemed like that creative streak was part of who he was, and I'll always treasure that painting. May fond memories of Jeff bring you comfort during this hard time in your life.
I will pray for your family during this difficult time, asking for comfort, strength, and peace. May all the love that surrounds you give you strength. Our deepest sympathies go out to you and your family. Peace and blessings upon you and your family.
