Mr. and Mrs. DeVito, and Melissa,

Please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss. Words cannot describe the sadness I feel in learning of this. You all were like a second family to me when we were kids and Jeff was like a brother. Growing up sometimes means drifting apart as life takes us on different journeys. Sadly for Jeff and I, this was the case. However, in the years we spent joined at the hip, he had a huge impact on my life; he picked me up when I was down, and helped me laugh when I could not. That is just the nice kind of kid he was. Now, as an adult, I think of those times often and I will hold on the wonderful memories we shared forever.
You have my thoughts, prayers and love

DeVito Family, please accept my love and deep sympathy and condolences for Jeff. He was such a compassionate, courageous, funny, kind-hearted, self-sacrificing and just plain outstanding guy. His humble and happy spirit will never ever be forgotten in my heart. We will miss him very, very much. I know Jeff will truly be safe in God's memory until He brings him back to life to enjoy perfect health and youthful vigor forever in His coming paradise on earth very soon!
