Jeffrey, thank you so much for being a friend to my boys, they truly loved you and admired you so dearly. My heart hurts so badly for you. 3 weeks later and I still break down at least once a day, sometimes more. I miss you, I can't imagine how hurt your family is, I know my boys will never recover from this, nor will I. I will do my best to continue spreading your legacy of hard work and will always cherish your friendship. Love you man.
