Pat, Monica, Jenny, and Gordie, my heart aches for you all in the tragic & unexpected loss of your son & brother, Jeff. I pray GOD will comfort you as only He can through the promise of eternal life and the reunion with loved ones for all who believe in Him. I have fond memories of babysitting 'Jeffy' and of each of you. I'm sorry I won't be able to greet you at the visiting hours or to attend the funeral. With sincere sympathy, Ruth TenBrink

How tragic for such a young and vibrant life to be gone--I'm so sorry for this loss to Jeffrey's family and friends. Our Creator never wanted the human family to suffer such sorrow, and he promises to undo all heartache in a future day. I hope you find the warm conversation between Jesus and Martha at John 11:23, 24 encouraging and that it bolsters your spirits.
