Dear Crissy,

Crissy, How very sorry I am to hear you lost your husband so suddenly and tragically! I am a neighbor of Tamara Gross and we didn't realize we both know you. She told me she was very close with Joe and explained what happened and how if he only had a spleen, he'd be alive today. This must feel like some kind of surreal medical nightmare. I wish you could close your eyes and the whole thing could just be a bad dream and you would wake up and he would still be with you. (My mother, too, was in ICU in an induced coma for months, and it felt like that, but for whatever reason, God spared her. I don't know that we can make any sense of why God takes some and not others. Perhaps it was not his time and it was the fault of the Doctors who did not diagnose him correctly?) Your heart and your children's hearts must be cleaved in two. I send my most heartfelt condolences to you and your family and to Joe's family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Sending you so much love!

Our heartfelt condolences.
We are good friends with Lori and Rich Kater and know this is a deep and sudden loss for such a beautiful family to endure.
Our thoughts and well wishes are with you.
Micheal & Linda Perline

Dee, I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you are feeling the love and hugs sent from so far away. My heart is aching for you and your family. Love, Peggi

Dear Dee,
We are so heart-fully sorry. Please know we share your heartache and brokenness.
Our hope is all your happy and beautiful memories, of your dear son, will become a tapestry of comfort for you.
Know you are dearly loved by many and in our heart, our mind and our prayers.

Thinking of Jeff's wife, children and family. It had been years since he and I saw each other (Further - July 2012) but we spent much time together in our younger days. Those times are filled with some of the greatest and happiest memories of my life and Jeff was a primary reason why. He left a lasting and positive impression on me and for that I'm thankful. He will remain in my thoughts forever. Peace.

I just found about Jeff's untimely death recently- it's still not sunk in yet. Jeff and I went to middle and high school together- we spent 4 years together every morning doing the "Good Morning Cherokee" radio show- what a blast! We lost touch with each other after graduation as we went our separate ways. While he died way too soon, knowing him, I'm sure he made the most of what time he had. Rest in Peace, and watch over us....
