Condolences & Tributes
Add A CondolenceTo the family of "Mr.Jeffries" Adorkor..my deepest sympathy. May the memories of his love bring you comfort. I met "Mr. Jeffries" 25 years ago, when he became a special Christian friend. Whenever our paths crossed, he never forgot our last conversation. He always expressed concerns about my family and myself. He was a man of great substance, who possessed worldly wisdom and compassion for his fellow man. He was loyal and dependable for his tasks in life. He will never be forgotten. He was Gods' gift shared here on earth. His living was not in vain. To God Be The Glory! Gloria Dean & Family
