James “Jeff” Brennan

Brennan1938~2020Due to the current situation we as a family have made a very hard but realistic decision not to hold an open service for (Jeff) at this time. This is being done to protect all of those who loved and cared for him. Our plan is to have a celebration of life when the restrictions are lifted. We will be planning on a memorial and celebration later.
