Five Years In Heaven




It’s has been five years since our beloved Jeff entered Heaven’s gates when brain cancer ended his life with us on Earth.

Five years since we have seen his contagious smile...
Five years since we felt his warm hugs...
Five years since we have gotten to laugh at his continuous sense of humor...
Five years since we experienced the pure selflessness he exhibited comforting his family and friends while he was suffering...
Five years since we heard him say “I love you” to which was already replied with “I love you more”...
Five years ago he became our angel.

In those five years...
Three more nephews were born.
His parents bought a new house.
His grandmother joined him in Heaven after her own battle with cancer.
Too many visits to a headstone, ONE is too many.
Several holidays, weddings, reunions and family vacations taken, with a missing piece.
And so much more, yet it still feels like yesterday that God called you home.
Life has happened but memories are forever cherished.

We can ALL learn a valuable lesson from Jeff.  Even through the MOST difficult time in his life, his faith never waivered.  He became more gracious and thankful than ever and his joy was contagious.  


We wish you were here, until we meet again.  Love you more Jeff ❤

13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
