Do you believe?

At the gravesite, it was a beautiful summer day in Cleveland
80 degrees with vivid blue skies and faint patches of clouds.
No rain since the morning of the day before.

After the ceremony, white doves were sent up into the sky, ...
it was then that we all noticed, incredibly, a small rainbow
within a cloud overhead.

We were all amazed, and gladdened by the sight.
Hard not to wonder..... Good tidings sent from above?

from a sympathy card

"Like a leaf dropped upon water...
the ripples of your loved one's life
spread on and on
to touch the lives of others."

Jeffrey touched many people in a quiet,
gentle way. We will never know how many,
but I know that for me and those that I saw,
they liked that soft touch of his,
because he touched you with carefulness,
humility and without pretense.
