    To the family of Jeff Petersen: I am so very sorry to hear of Jeff's passing. I just spoke to him last week!! I have worked with Jeff through my job at the Department of Social Services for many years, scheduling and setting up his transportation needs. He was always so very pleasant and appreciative. Most recently I worked with Jeff regarding his insurance. Please know you are in my heart and thoughts as you go through this difficult time. Marcie Willetts, Allegany Co. DSS
