                                  Mary Beth I'm so sorry to hear about Jeff. He fought hard and while the beast killed his body, it could not touch that which was "Jeff" and it can nver touch him again. If you are someone who finds comfort in the Psalms, may I suggest Psalm 23 and envisioning Jeff enjoying his feast and all his enemy (beast) can do is watch. Jeff won his battle, he didn't lose. Forever victorious.

                                  You did lose the love of your life and the life you had and I am truly sorry.

                                  Please email me if there's anything I can do, any prayers I can offer.  Again, I'm sorry.

                                  Grace and peace,

                                      I am so sorry.  Jeff was taken from you so quickly that I'm sure you are stunned.  His pain is gone now and he is free.
