Our Friend Jeff

Our good friend Jeff Gustafson lost his battle with cancer last Thursday. Being so far from home is hard for us because we can't be there to help comfort Molly and the children. But we know that Jeff is hard at work now as he ever was... helping those who need help... loving those who need love... and cheering those that need cheer.

One thing that we are certain of, is that Jeff now knows how important he was in our spiritual lives. He and Molly helped to bring us to Grace, literally and figuratively, and introduced us to a wonderful community of the faithful.

In Jeff, I truly had found another kid in an adults body and that may be what I miss most about him. God's got a great new member of his staff who will have that place looking as good as new in no time. We love you Jeff. We will miss you. Until we meet again...
