To the Moreland FamilyTo the Moreland family i was so sorry to learn of the passing of Jeff we worked together with the Fairburn Fire Dept.for i believe 6 years. it was Jeff Mike Aldridge and myself.i just learn of his passing or i would have payed my respects sooner again I’m so sorry for your lost.
I am Bill Wright’s daughter and I too am just learning of Jeff’s passing. To his family I am sorry for your lose. But I know that he is in Heaven having a reunion with Daddy, Mother and Mama! God bless you all, Jeff was a very special person! Amazing Grace how sweet the sound………….
I’m just now learning of Jeff’s passing. I’m sorry to have read about it this evening. Family, you have my prayers and sympathies. I got to know Jeff many years ago while I was a student working for Bill Wright at Wright Funeral Home in Fairburn. Everyone associated with the funeral home in 1984-1985 made me feel so welcome while away from home. Enjoy your reward Jeff!
My condolences to family and friends. Jeff, at one point worked with me in Union City. He was a happy individual that enjoyed life.
Our hearts are saddened by the passing of Jeff. The Bible tells us in 11 Corinthians 5:8, “We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord”. Jeff knew the Lord and is now with Him in Heaven. I am sure he will be missed, but those of us who have been born again will see Jeff one day. It has been quite a while since I saw him, but I have good memories when we were children playing at Grandma & Grandpa Moreland’s house in Cliftondale. I do not know what to say to comfort you other than all are in my prayers and the Lord will comfort and help you.
Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers, a beautiful voice now silent on this earth is singing with the angels in heaven!
