"Love and prayers, Lori and family. Heaven is sweeter though your hearts are heavy for this season. One day we all will worship Jesus with Jeff. What a day that will be!"
"One time when he left my house, there was a lot of noise out there, and he emerged from a cloud of smoke very slowly. One of the funniest things I ever saw him do."
