    We were just kids. Figuring out, together, what life is. You taught me how easy it was to be ourselves, your laughter I can still hear today, proving to me I was doing it right.  In all the craziness and fun we had together I'm sure there were words of wisdom you imparted on me. I don't know exactly what they were, but I know they helped shape who I am today. To this day, for some reason, I see you smiling so clearly whenever I hear any song from the Moody Blues album, "Days of Future Passed".....Hmmm. Even though I haven't seen you since then, you've been with me a long time; thank you Jeff, my friend. Your spirit lives on in me.

    My dear friend Jeff, You will always be a big part of my life. From Fleming, to Narbonne, and into our twenties, you were there for me. We went our separate ways, but you were always in my heart. I feel that the friends we made during our youth help shape us. Jeff, I am the person I am today because you were a part of my life. You were there to talk with, to listen with, and to laugh with. Thank you Jeff for being such a good friend. I will always Love, Remember and Cherish our friendship. I love you! Janet
