Thanks also to Dr. Kablitz and Dialysis Center technicians at the U of U, Midvale and Price.
Jeff, our father, son, brother and friend, to you we owe our respect and thanks. Your inner light guided us through your suffering even though it was you who endured the greatest pain. Now you are free to see, hear, and sing again. You are free to see the light that you carried within you, free to hear the voices of your children, and free to sing the song of love and hope you taught to all of us.

We little knew that morning that God would call your name.
In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone;
for part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide;
and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same,
but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
