Janice and family. I am so sad for your loss of sweet Jeff. He was one of the kindest and dearest man I have had the privilege of knowing. We all had so much fun over the years in Sunday School and church. He was always happy to greet everyone. He will be missed but, he has left us with wonderful memories. You are all in my prayers and thoughts. Much love.
My heart is with you Janice❤️
We were neighbors and good friends of the Marlow family during my childhood. I was eight years younger than Jeffrey and vividly remember those days. I remember him as someone to look up to. Sending my condolences to your family during this time of loss.
I’m so sad to hear that Jeff has died. We’re not suppose to die!! Jeff was such a caring & respectful person. I’m so glad he was one of my Hickory High School classmates, plus was a regular member of our monthly class of ‘59 Zoom meetings. I’m sending his family lots of vertical hugs!
Rest in peace Jeff. May you live in our memory.
Janice and Family, Sending my condolences to you and your family. Jeff always was so pleasant to work with at J. Iverson Riddle Center. Praying that God will wrap each of you with comfort, peace and strength now and in the days to come. Rama Jean Franklin
