I have many memories with Jeffrey when we were young; however, the best one is from about two years ago when all three "boys" brother and sister East, Steve and Jeff's spouse's went to the mall to eat after church. It was so great having a good time with the "boys", joking, picking at each other, talking about old times and laughing! Then right when we were all leaving Jeffrey hugged me and said it was so good to see you after so long. I had fun and we will have to do this again. I will never forget that. To April I am so sorry for you and your families loss. I know there is a big hole in your family dynamic now and your heart is sad. To Brother and Sister East. I am so sorry that you have to go through this again. I know the both of you are hurting so very deeply. There is nothing I can say that really is appropriate because what can you say? But, I am so so so very sorry and I love you both. To Lee and Steve. Guys I am so very sorry you both have to go through this again. I am so sorry for your loss. If you guys need anything just get ahold of me. To the rest of the family. I truly am so sorry for your loss and you guys have been in my thoughts and will continue to be in my thoughts.
