Bob and Donna,
I know that time flies so fast yet moves so slowly at times.  How can it be?  I wanted to let you know that I am thinking about you as this first anniversary day approaches.  May God surround you with His love as only He can.  We love you!

Sandi and John

I was so very sorry to learn about Jeff's death, and I want to extend my sincerest sympathy to his family and friends.  What can a person say when someone so young and wonderful passes away?  Just that I'm very very sorry.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child.  Our deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

Dear Bob and Donna, our thoughts are with you in this darkest of times. Please know that you are not alone in grief. Duncan and Kathy Lee

Jeff and I were very good friends in high school and I thought he was a great person and will always have a special place in my heart, please know that your family is in our prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with Jeff's friends and family as they mourn.  I remember Jeff from school and scouting and he was always pleasant and a joy to be around.  I am sure he will be missed by all those who knew and loved him.

Jeff and I started college together at Westminster, before he transferred to Rockhurst.  He was always a very disciplined person, which was most evident on Friday afternoons as many of us would gather on the front porch of our fraternity house to wind down.  At some point, someone would mutter, "Where's Clark?"  Invevitably, he would be flying past us on the sidewalk on his eight-mile run.  He was never to be talked out of this routine!  I always enjoyed running into him in KC over the years, and already really miss him.

Bob & Donna:

I was so sorry to hear of Jeff's passing. Although I never recall meeting him, I know from my lunchtime walks with Bob at the office just how proud you both were of him. Please know that your friends from near and far are keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers.

dear donna and bob, 
you have our very deepest sympathies.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Clark family in their time of mourning. I remember Jeff well from school. He was a great person and will be missed by all that knew him.

Jeff is part of many good memories for me from our time playing basketball, boy scout campouts and float trips. I enjoyed reconnecting with Jeff recently online and swapping funny movie quotes. Rest in heavenly peace my friend.

I remember Jeff from school as always smiling and kind.   He will be missed by every life he touched.

Donna, I'm so sorry to hear about Jeff. Although no parent should have to bury their child you should be proud of your influence on the wonderful man he will be remembered as. Jeff was a good soul. Please accept my deepest sympathies to you and your family.

Jeff will always be remembered by those of us who grew up with him. Our friendship started in 1st grade, when he and I were on the same basketball team, and it continued through high school and college. He had an infectious smile and a great personality. He will missed and thought of often.

Liz, I am so sorry for the loss your family has experienced.  I am keeping you all in my prayers!

When I think of Jeff, the first thing I remember is his quick smile and laugh.  I lost touch with Jeff after high school, but I will always remember playing basketball with him, and seeing him run all over the streets of Raytown. My deepest sympathies to his family.

Jeff was one of my Quik Trip buddies!!! Every time he came into my store he made me and my co workers laugh! He was a very smart and witty individual.  He was greatly respected within his community.  I feel lucky to have known him.  He had so much to offer. God wanted him and he was lucky enough to get him.

Donna, I can't tell you how sorry I am about Jeff. I have such good memories of him going all the way back to first grade at Fleetridge! I pray that God will bring you, Bob, and Liz comfort and peace.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.  I have great memories of Jeff from middle school and high school.  I've enjoyed reconnecting with him recently through Facebook.  He was such a sweet guy. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Jeff will be missed tremendously. He brought so much happiness and laughter to all who knew him. I feel so fortunate that many of us who attended elementary and high school with Jeff had the chance to reunite with him in recent months. We will always treasure those memories!

Bob and Donna - John appreciated all of Jeff's hard work in basketball.  At practices and on the game floor he gave full measure.  Juli and Jeff can share some wonderful memories now and Juli will never tire of telling him about how wonderful a teacher his Mother was for her.  We love you very much and share your pain.  We can rejoice in the thought of seeing them again.

I will share words that God sent me to write down to help express the thoughts of our hearts.

THE OTHER SIDE

Bright lights surround us,
It's so beautiful here!
What else could be better,
But loved ones all near.

It's something to gaze at,
Something to behold.
The streets all aglitter,
As if covered with gold

They glisten from Jesus
And His Holy light.
He walks in our presence
And we sense His might.

But you must be busy;
You're left there below.
Tell ALL about Jesus,
They really must know.

Your job is not finished;
The task is not done.
Let no one not know Him.
No, not even one!

Sandi Jeffries


CONTRASTS

They feel only joy;
We have the sorrow.
They see eternity,
We look to tomorrow.

They are with Jesus;
That's worth so much.
We are here missing
Their sweet, soft touch.

They see only light;
We sense the dark.
They soar with angels
We miss the mark

God says to rejoice.
"Your loved one is free!"
I realize now;
I was thinking of "ME"!

Carl and I were saddened to hear of Jeff's untimely passing.  We share in your sorrow and are holding you in our thoughts and in our prayers.  May his memory serve as a blessing to all who knew him.  
Carl and Judy Brennaman

Thinking of you at this time.  GOD BLESS!

Dear Donna & Bob:

What a shock to read you lost Jeff at such a young age!  Words fail me to know what to say at your loss except know many many friends have you in their hearts and thoughts - including me.

One reason Jeff had a very good life is because he had wonderful, caring parents. I hope you can take comfort in the fact that Jeff is at peace and one day you will see him again.

Jeff was a wonderful friend and will be missed by so many.  
His quick wit, long educational conversations and his love for PBS will also be missed!  May your hearts remember the wonderful times we shared with him and know that heaven has gained an angel.

Janice and I were so very sorry to hear about the passing of your son, Jeff. We'll be thinking of all the Clark family, and sending some good and positive thoughts your way.

Terry and Janice Bartlow
Pittsburg, Ks.

So sorry, we've only known him for several years but will miss him. A wonderful friend to so many.

I'd lost touch with Jeff over the years, but we were running buddies back in high school and into college.  I am very saddened to learn of Jeff's passing at far too young an age.  Jeff was a great runner and I remember him as a voracious reader and he was always a great friend.  Jeff was one of only a handful of distance runners at Raytown High School over the years that ran a sub 10 minute 2 mile in track.  I remember when he first started running and how quickly he progressed and what a great work ethic he had at everything he did in life.

We were very sorry to learn of Jeff's passing. My memories of Jeff go back very far as our parents have been close friends since before we were both born. Growing up, we did many activities together and those were good times. My condolences to Bob, Donna, Lizabeth, and all family and friends.
