“Jeff and I grew up together we fished, water ski, shot BB guns and swam in our pool. We had a lot in common including Star Wars movies and toys. Laura you are a blessed woman to spend time with the adult Jeff. My parents always praised what you two built at your home. I wanted so bad to come and visit and reminisce about our childhood. So sorry for your loss and prayers go out to my cousin and good friend I’ll miss you.”
