Aunt Gladys,
We are so sorry to hear of Jeffrey’s passing. I remember him as being such a sweet boy. I felt so proud that he thought I was such a Kool cousin that he wanted to follow me around during that summer 40 + years ago when Mom and I came to visit you.
We are sending you all of our love and thoughts during this sorrowful time.

To the Flicek Family -
We are sorry for your loss – we only knew of Jeff through seeing him with his horses at Walnut Grove farm during Scenic Drive and the Thanksgiving weekend there. Our children love taking the hayride around, and he was always so kind. He always answered any question about the horses, and let the kids pet them. That small contact over the years made an impression on our family, and prayers are with you all who were fortunate to know him better.
