My sincere condolences to the Jefferson family and the extended families during this time of sorrow and loss. Praying for the Lord’s sustaining grace to uphold you
with His love as well as the loving support of friends
and family.
To my family I am so sorry I could not be there for the homegoing of Mr Jefferson. You guys have been in our family over 40 years. When Sandra married TOMMY we became family.mrs Mary I can’t even imagine being married for 63 years but I know that God has brought you this far and he will continue to be with you forever. Cynthia , TOMMY and Mike. I know what it’s like to lose a father and I will continue to pray for you as you go through this time of sorrow. I love you all very much.
Jeff was one of my husband’s dearest friends on the railroad. I never met him, although Charles wanted me to. He had asked several people where Jeff was now but no one seemed to know. Would have loved to have seen him again. But we just found out, here at the end of September, that he had passed away. We pray for God’s comfort for his family and Charles thanks Jeff for his friendship.
I would like to give my Condolences and Prayers to the Jefferson Family. My grand father name was Mr. Lee Jefferson, who is buried in Robertson Tx.
