I am sorry for your loss. Jeff was a wonderful man. I was happy to reconnect with him last March during a LTL pickup. He shared with me how much he enjoyed his family. I am so grateful to have had the chance to talk about life with him. I know how hard it has been and my love and prayers are with you all. Terri Venden
