Condolences for Jeffery Alan Vachal
Linda and family, my heart aches for your loss. I know the last year has been a struggle for him and you. I know you all have been so brave and determined to fight for him. God has welcomed him home and he will carry you. You will remain in my prayers.
My heart aches for both of you. Even through all his struggles Jeff gave all he had to beat this awful disease. I love you both very much. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I am sorry for your loss. Jeff was a great guy.
To all the Vachals, I am so very sorry for the loss of Jeff. Even though I didn’t grow up around everyone in Nebraska, I have fond childhood memories of cousin Jeff (who was only 6 months younger than me), as mischievous boys together when my family visited the “Motherland”. I wish I had got to see and know him better as adults, but I’ll always remember his blond blond hair, his sometimes devilish but always warm smile, and the bright glint in his eyes. RIP, Jeff.
Love,
Mark Taylor
