Our precious Jeffrey, escorted by angels I'm sure went to his heavenly home yesterday.

Although diagnosed with mental retardation, he never let that handle stop him from achieving a great deal.

Jeff started special school at three years of age and kept learning all of his life.

Oh, my how he loved the Lord. He loved to go to mass and served as an altar server at Saint Cecilia's in Clearwater.

Jeff attended school at Paul B Stevens in safety Harbor and graduated at the eighth-grade time level but not grade level. You must understand what I mean.

He was a great participant and special Olympics, and I can't begin to tell you how proud he made us two years ago at the Augusta State of Maine Special Olympics. he came in first place in freestyle, swimming from the State of Maine He had a great coach. Miss April was wonderful to him and taught him well.

He spent many years in a group home in Maine and loved Ellsworth and Bar Harbor Maine.

Jeff enjoyed music and his cousin Dick Curliss helped him helped him love country music.

When you talk about Jeffrey, the word love comes up a lot. He loved life. He loved his family. He loved his Lord.

His brother and sister Rick and Kelly meant the world to him, and he meant the world to them.

Many family members, including Karissa, Dalton, and his dad certainly met him at Heaven Gates.

Frank and I are so proud of him and already miss him immensely. He taught us so much about love we could not begin to explain.

Jeff would want to know you each of you and would absolutely

love you.
