Hello to the both of you. I just recently heard about the loss of Jeff. I am so sorry for the both of you.
Kelly - I am so sorry for what you have been going though. The one thing that immediately came to my mind was how much love you always had in your voice and eyes, when you spoke about Jeff as we talked in our little office at Edina Realty. It was so clear to me the wonderful relationship you shared. Please find peace in that and although, your marriage was much to short that is was obviously true love. Some thing some peole don't experience in a lifetime. Your dreams my have ended much too soon but your love is endless.
Jan - As a mother myself, I do not know what to say. I am so sorry for your loss. I watched my mother in-law lose a son much, much too young leaving a very young wife behind as well. She struggled with her loss, but found comfort in her faith. It is never supposed to happen that way, she used to say. My mother in-law will always have an emty spot in her heart and wonder about Mike's future but we now laugh and talk about fun things and wonderful memories.
Please remember that in spirit he will always be with you both and it sounds like he was quite a man to be proud to love.
Take care; my thoughts and prayers are with you both.
Kelly-
Reading your post the other day was heart breaking!I wish there was something I could say or do to help you through this! The love that you and Jeff had for one another was something that was very special something that most people will never find. I hope that Jeffs smile, the love he has for you, his art, and the memories you shared together will help you get through this.Putting one foot in front of the other maybe very hard at times but remember Jeff is with you with every step! Many people are thinking of you and praying for you and you deserve to put that smile on your face and think of all the happy times you had. Remember you will be united again in time! God bless!

My heart breaks for you just reading your entry today ~ I know there is nothing anyone can say or do that will ease the pain and emptiness you're feeling. Just know there are many people that think about you often and pray that someday soon your smile will return.
Hugs!!

If anyone should come across my smile please return it to me here. My dreams have vanished and the family that we were building is no longer. There is an empty spot on the sofa, a terrible silence in the room, and Jake just sits in the passenger seat of the Jeep waiting to go for a ride.
What am I going to do???
I can't even go to the grocery store with out crying. I don't buy bananas anymore... I feel guilty on the days that I don't drink enough water because I am too dehydrated to produce tears.
I was soooo lucky! I told him that everyday! The only thing I ever wished for was Happiness, and I got it! I just wish I would have wished for it to last. :(
Hi Kelly,
I recently ran into Joanna and Todd and I heard about Jeff. I am so sorry for your loss. Joanna was saying that she had been looking at some pictures from prom all those years ago. I remember how much fun that night had been. My mom remembered you two talking about moving to CA. It is amazing how time passes. I hope pictures and memories from friends help to comfort you. God bless you.

Jeremy,
Travis and I are so sorry to hear of this tragic loss in your family. Please know that our thoughts are with you.

I knew Jeremy very well in high school and he always had caring words when telling me about his brother. My family's thoughts and prayers go out to your family.
Kelly -
My deepest sympathy to you and all of your family as you deal with this horribly hard loss. So sorry that my husband and I will not be able to attend Jeff's art show, but I'm very thankful that I got to see some of his art on this website - what a talent! Please know that you are all in our prayers.

Kelly,
I still think of you guys daily. It pains me so greatly to think of your loss. I know that none of us can understand the greif that you are feeling, but we are all here as a shoulder for you to cry on or just someone to listen. I am very happy for you that you are working with the Walker Art Center for the display of his art work. I think it is good for you to do this, and this can help with the healing process. I look forward to attending that night and I can only say again that Jeff, you and your families are all in my thoughts and prayers. Keep a smile on your face and your head held high. It's the hardest thing to do, but it's also the best thing to do. Take care Kelly, and we'll be seeing you on Wednesday next week.
