I know you are truly going to be missed not only by us but by everyone you ever came in contact with. You always made me laugh and smile even when there were times I didn't want to smile. I will forever hold on to the patriots hoodie you had made for me. RIP my friend until we meet again. 💖 Jen McCarthy.

You most certainly lit up every room as Jonathan has already said. You lit up a room, held a conversation with anyone and made everyone feel good about themselves! You always made it seem like everything was ok sometimes when it was or was not. You sheltered me from from alot , that I really needed to be sheltered from as we did for our son . Whether he liked it or not. You will be sadly missed.Another loss way too young.you Made it a point to make everyone you met have a smile on their face . You will be missed RIP JEFF💙💙💙 love Kathy
