He also asked me what a silver Pharoah mummy might actually do, and I told him to point a lot and look dramatic. Living with him was like living with Santa, Pere Noel, and a dramatic pointing mummy every day. You nailed him: and thanks so much for doing so. Find something to channel your love into: I'm trying and we all need to find a way to spread the Jeff around.

He was such a devoted fan of your blogs and would be so honored and humbled by your words.<br /><br />I remember so vividly how excited Jeff was to dress up as Santa because it would make others happy. Nothing brought Jeff more joy than to bring others happiness. You are so correct that if Jeff cared about you it was 200% percent. What a special gift we were all given in knowing and being cared about by Jeff.Merry Rankinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5511729947412381984.post-77265188343629520342010-10-07T10:07:35.055-05:002010-10-07T10:07:35.055-05:00GeekChic and Mary Ellen:

For me to lose my friend is awful, but for you to lose your brother is unimaginable. Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment, and you're right about the quote from Blade Runner. When I read it on his FB page, I agreed wholeheartedly. Peace to you and your family.Happy Villainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11276030867866594194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5511729947412381984.post-45843702711549803342010-10-07T09:49:24.920-05:002010-10-07T09:49:24.920-05:00Beautiful words.

Thank you for being a part of his life. A friend of his quoted a line from one of Jeff's favorite movies that I think sums it up best:<br /><br />"The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long...and you have burned so very, very brightly."<br />Blade Runner 1992.<br /><br />Greg AhrensGreg Ahrensnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5511729947412381984.post-3740536151840469982010-10-05T19:46:51.814-05:002010-10-05T19:46:51.814-05:00My darling, if you let them in the Jeffs will seiz...My darling, if you let them in the Jeffs will seize our hearts and turn over our minds. Life is lonely, whimsical is rare, and there is Jeff to seize onto in this lonely world. I let them in like you and my life, like yours, has been enriched beyond imagining. You were his friend and the odd ducks, the truly wonderful people, who get it, come to us. We are blessed and even though I never knew Jeff, I do know Jeff.
