Another Birthday In Heaven

       Today marks Jeff's third birthday in Heaven.  Yesterday marked 2 1/2 years since he was taken there. Although there is still a large hole in our family, we are grateful knowing that Jeff is pain-free and partying it up with our Lord.

       Recently Tonya gave birth to a beautiful son, Tanner. Jeff now has 3 strapping nephews!  It is amazing the characteristics we see in these boys everyday that remind us of him. It warms our hearts! For Instance, Jeff used to wait until we all left the dinner table and dip his fingers in butter then eat it! Now my son Dylan is doing the same thing, makes me gag and smile at the same time. :) Colton has his wits, that kid is so smart and he is not afraid to show it! Makayla has his sweet, caring heart. We can't wait to see what he has passed on to Tanner.

       When Jeff had passed we had a wonderful videographer capture some moments and put together a memorial.  It took a lot of us a long time to have the strength to watch it.  As hard as it still is to watch, it is so beautifully done and we are very thankful we have it.  We wanted to share it with you today.

The first video is his testimony he had given at church.  It is surreal to here his voice...
 
 
The next video is Jeff's Funeral, the Celebration of his life and ascent to Heaven...

Thank you all again for your continued love and support! If you have a favorite memory of Jeff, we would love to hear it!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEFF
