Years ago I had the privilege of working with Jeff#2 in the file room. I have fond memories of his witty humor, positive attitude & the fact we never did locate file 89-22201! I am so glad we reconnected a few years back & I was given the opportunity to know & love the extended Bracken family. My heart is heavy but I stand firm in my faith that I will see Jeff #2 again one day. Love and heartfelt sympathies to the entire Bracken family.

There's an open gate at the
end of the road
Through which each must
go alone.
And there, in a light
we cannot see,
Our Father claims His own.
Beyond the gate our loved one
finds happiness and rest.
And there is comfort in the
thought
That a Loving God knows best.

Jeff and I were part of the speech and debate team at Malone College. His sense of humor was a joy and always kept us from taking ourselves too seriously. I have great memories of those practices and competitions. My sincerest sympathy to Jeff's children, siblings and family.
