In Memoriam ~ Jeffrey James Breiholz (1964-2007)

My best friend Melinda's husband Jeff Breiholz unexpectedly died in his sleep last night; he was only 43 years old.
Goodbye Jeff - You Will Be Missed

He leaves behind his wife Melinda, their two beautiful daughters, Claire and Camille, his parents, Buck Breiholz and Anne James, his brother Brad, uncles, aunts and cousins, as well as many close friends. Please send your healing prayers and love to Melinda, Claire and Camille, and everyone else experiencing the sadness of this loss. Jeff, you will be missed by many.

Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the seas; they live in one another still.
For they must needs be present, that love and live in that which is omnipresent.
In this divine glass they see face to face; and their converse is free, as well as pure.
This is the comfort of friends, that though they may be said to die,
yet their friendship and society are, in the best sense, ever present, because immortal.
- William Penn, from More Fruits of Solitude

Hi Sarah,

I just found your blog when I googled Jeff's name. I was in shock to learn of his death. I am unable to attend the memorial, but I wanted to say a small hello to you and Dell. I'll enjoy looking at your blog.

Jeff was such an amazing, sweet, and hilariously funny person. I don't know anyone who didn't think he was terrific. I am so going to miss laughing with him.
His family was the light of his life. My heart goes out to Melinda and the girls.

Plant Trees + Stop Junk Mail = Green Dimes

I just found this web site to deal with my huge junk mail problem: GreenDimes. For a dime a day they get your name off direct mailing lists and keep it off, and plant a tree for you every month. So if you want to stop your mailbox from overflowing, and save some trees, take a look at GreenDimes. Note: I have noticed a HUGE reduction in the amount of junk mail I have been getting!
