We'll Miss You Jeffro!


Court, Sam, Dave, Jeff

It was always the four of us in college. Years later Sam and Jeff got married. It was no surprise to us because even back then we knew that Jeff was in love with Sam. Jeff had the best laugh. He was the life of the party. He was so nice and everybody wanted to be his friend. He was an amazing stepfather to Sam's daughter, Kara. He was just freaking awesome. =)

Jeff died on Saturday. He was driving home from work and a woman going the other direction somehow lost control of her car, crossed the median and hit him head on. She walked away with scratches.

I found out yesterday about noon. I was in shock. I couldn't even fathom this world without Jeff in it. Last night we went to Razorback Pizza (where Jeff and Sam both worked part time) and celebrated Jeff's life. Basically...we all got drunk. It was bitter sweet. Our college pals came up to join us. Most of us hadn't seen each other in years. Everyone was saying, "It's so great to see you! Wait...it actually sucks to see you right now."

Please pray for Samantha. The funeral should be tomorrow or Wednesday.


Bittersweet reunion.

Oh my gosh! No way. That is crazy. Where were Jeff and Sam living? I feel so bad for Sam and her daughter. How long have they been married? How are you dealing with this? It was good that you got to get together with peeps. I am so, so sorry. I'll be praying for everyone. Please post about the funeral also. Is there a visitation? Sorry with all the questions.
