4 Dec 2020Thank you for your friendship, Jeff. We spent many years singing together in churches, prisons and other venues. What a blessing it was to see lives changed because of your willingness to dedicate yourself to ministry. We truly made many memories that I still cherish today, After we moved we may not have kept in constant contact because life get’s so busy, but anytime we were able to slow down and talk we could pick right up where we left off. Thank you Twila for letting us borrow Jeff , He was such an important part of our lives and ministry. We pray peace and strength over you and your family. One day I’ll climb on the Hammond B3 and you can slide onto the piano bench Jeff and we’ll pick back up where we left off – we’ll definitely be considered the hallelujah corner.

He has played the piano for many of our songs, prayed with us, had many conversations about the bible, and he loved his family so much. He is truly going to be missed, however I know where he is, and we will see him again soon! Our prayers are with the family.
