I am very, very sorry to hear of your loss. I just read your account and am weeping. Your words are so very beautiful. Everything I want to say seems so trite in comparison. Ann will remember that I too lost a brother, at the prime of his young life. Your faith will indeed see you through. And of course the love and support of family and friends.

I just want you all to know how you have affected myself and my daughters in the most beautifully positive way in how you are handling this tragedy with faith in God and all that is good. My heart is with all of you right now. I can not tell you how Jeff's story resonates with me that he was a faithful person to his brother and to God. May you find peace in this and realize that Jeff's life continues to have a positive effect on people like me who did not even know him personally.<br />Sincerely,<br />Liz StaffordMs. Liz Staffordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00681640606886445187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965055013799848890.post-52346075095238321682012-04-06T19:58:11.204-07:002012-04-06T19:58:11.204-07:00Todd & Family - my son is in your Mom's ma...Todd & Family - my son is in your Mom's math class.

I've skied in Colorado for many years and have always reflected upon the times skiing with my brother in the Rockies as some of the best days of my life. None of us can tell when our time hear ends and the next journey begins, but from what your day on March 31, 2012 tells me is that your brother left this place doing one of the things he loved the most and that he was not alone when it was time to move on to the next journey ~ All our thoughts and prayers, Dave Schoenike - Chicago, ILNike312https://www.blogger.com/profile/15991460815775090594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965055013799848890.post-31725986549622134612012-04-04T18:46:22.545-07:002012-04-04T18:46:22.545-07:00Todd, I am Blair's younger brother.

I am guessing you and your brother shared many similar moments. To lose him like that, I can't imagine. I am so sorry for your loss. But thank you for sharing your love for Todd. Your courage and gratefulness for the time spent with him is truly inspiring to me. I will cherish my relationship with my brother even more.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. My most memorable time was during the blizzard several years ago the snow went up to your roof top and all the younger kids in the neighborhood were all out playing in the snow, making tunnels and then you and your brother decide hey we can snowboard out of the window off the roof top. I was a little scared for you guys, but you looked like pros going down that mound of snow. So,you were exploring many years ago. What a great family to have lived across the street from. The younger kids always looked up to you guys. <br />Taylor, Hannah, Kelsey and Megan Carpenter.

He love to appreciate Gods beautiful world. In his last hours, he did not fall to his death, but soared into heaven, leaving his body behind for friends and family to say goodbye. I know he is watching over his family, and will always be watching from afar. <br /><br />Kathryn and Mark SchlagerKathy Schlagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12855782926429083334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965055013799848890.post-31582388818025516602012-04-02T11:32:29.731-07:002012-04-02T11:32:29.731-07:00I got to know Jeff on a personal/business level si...I got to know Jeff on a personal/business level since last May. He was a very smart and witty friend. He and I hit it off on the phone right away because we had the same passions. Mountaineering and Skiing was the usual theme of our talks before we began talking business, plus the fact that my Washington Huskies were now going to blast his Colorado Buffaloes away in the new Pac 12 conference. <br /><br />Jeff was very smart, a very fun person to be around. The first time we met it was in Toronto on business. He was a blast and we had some great times then and since then. Sadly he is one of many friends of mine who has died up on the mountains, but like the others, he died what he loved to do, with his brother who he always talked about. A loss, but a gain among God who sits high upon the mountain.<br /><br />My family's thoughts and prayers are with the Ipsen family as they mourn their loss. We wish the Lords blessings upon you all.<br /><br />Tobin - Seattle, Washingtonhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12569211085590882233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965055013799848890.post-23185365476477930742012-04-02T11:26:01.871-07:002012-04-02T11:26:01.871-07:00Todd,
