Please accept our heartfelt condolences in the loss of your father and husband. Even though he has left your physical presence, may he always be with you in spirit. Lean upon the Lord Jesus for strength during this sad yet joyous time, for your father is in a far better place than all of us. Janet and Tom Barone
I will always remember Mr. Jeffers as a kind, gentle man who was a loving father and husband. His spirit will continue to shine through his wonderful son Bryan. He referred to me as his other son and I thought of him as my other father. His precious dog Jeri brought him so much happiness during some difficult times with his health. May you rest in peace Mr. Jeffers after such a long, hard fight. As you watch over us from above, grant us your blessings, especially Mary Rose, Bryan, and Jeri. I will miss you.
Dear Bryan and Mrs. Jeffers, Please accept our sincere and deepest sympathy on the loss of your loved one. Your father, husband, will be sadly missed but his love for you will always remain. We’ve prayed for you both to continue to share in the faith of God and trust in Him during this difficult time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your loss of Uncle Charles. Though we didn’t see you guys often, we always enjoyed the family euchre games and Uncle Charles paying Joy and Sarah to sing or say the alphabet for him. Even though he’d been ill, we know it’s still hard for you to let him go. Remember the good times and he will always live in your hearts. Much love from Michigan, Donald, Sue & Joy Jeffers
