To the family of Dakota Jeffers;

I had to pleasure of having Mr. Jeffers on my caseload for the last year. He was a very nice and respectable young man. Although he had been in trouble he was one that did not let that stop him from becoming gainfully employed. Mr. Jeffers was one that would take care of his business concerning parole. He was always willing to help people get jobs with a background. As a matter of fact I had just communicated with him via text on 7-20-11 as he was giving me information about his job so that I could pass it on. He will be missed and I will continue to pray for his children, his fiancee', his parents, siblings, aunt, cousins, and everyone that was connected to him. May God continue to strengthen you guys in this time of sorrow. Weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning. Earth has no sorrow heaven can not heal.

Humbly Submitted,
Ava D.Sherman
