Message: So sorry to hear of Jeff's passing and may his family find comfort in time with God's healing!
Just visited with Jeff at our farm 2 days prior as he stopped with his State truck to BS and ask what our plans were. One thing about Jeff is he was a friend and I mean a good dear friend for life! He was a good man and Heaven is better off with him there for sure.
Hope to see him again someday and may his family be blessed in their time of healing!
