Our 2nd Annual memorial event will take place, Saturday, October 5th, 2019, in Lakeland, FL at Frescos, 7pm-midnight. This all began last year, 2018, as we came up on the one year anniversary of Noah’s passing. For us, as his family and friends, the date is painful, tragic and a terrible reminder, yet ironically, because […]
4:30pm 10/4/17 I was holding your left hand, seated by your side, because I refused to leave the room while they did their exams of you. Your long, gentle fingers were wrapped around mine. Calloused and a bit rough from years of playing guitars and banjos, working outdoors on equipment and learning to bend thick […]
These photos popped up today on Noah’s phone as a look back to this date in 2015. One of the things that Bud and I always impressed upon Noah was that he should always seize every opportunity to do as many things as he loved or was interested in in his life.

This is the story of Dana’s ring and Noah’s proposal. In […]

Look for Noah Jeffries’ memorial living Christmas trees in … 2022? Hey they have to grow first! The Post: Merry Christmas! God bless us all, everyone. Christmas. It came. It actually happened. I’ll be honest, it was the day I was most dreading having to face post-Noah. Christmas has always been for me, to quote […]
Bud and I always believed that one of the key elements in making sure our children became great adults was by surrounding them with extraordinary people. As things turned out, we only had one child, but we made sure he was always surrounded by incredible people, men and women alike! We were of the opinion […]
Happy Thanksgiving! The baking is done and ready to be tabled. I’ll admit I only had one thing on my mind – Noah. I kept thinking about him being so excited the first time I let him use an electric hand mixer to help blend the pie filling. It was in a metal mixing bowl and […]
