• The importance of peer work - a poem for Jeff

  about 7 years ago

  "Some wouldn't even shed a tear, what a compassionate and empathetic volunteer. One that feels what you have to say, some people can't wait 'till each Friday. He knows where you are coming from, you can always describe to him your wrongs. When you find it hard for feelings to ration, you can always count on his compassion. The feeling of no one left, you can always count on Jeff."
