Submitted by Fran Olson Gustafson 1965 <fgustafson917@gmail.com> on 02/Jul/2022 Jeffrey
W. McQuiston, a lifelong area resident, entered into rest on July 1, 2022 at
Sapphire Nursing and Rehab, Newburgh. Jeff was familiar with the staff at Meadow
Hill because I work there. He would visit in his truck full of hay. the staff
and residents would tell me, Debbie, Jeff's truck is here and he has Hay! When I
was not able to safely care for Jeff at home, the staff told me to bring Jeff to
the facility so that I could rest and he could receive professional care. It was
easy for him to accept the plan as it was with his friends. Thank you for all
the staff at Meadow Hill Sapphire. His boy, Texas (CURTIS), Shellie, Hope,
Maria, Jean, his special visitors, Dr. Jai, Dr. Rizvi, Dr. Waheed, The Oncology
Team, for the care and love, Castle Point VA for approving his care at VBH. A
special thanks for prior staff at Meadow Hill, Bobby, and present staff, Tzvi,
and Joseph. Thank you Carly, Aledina, and Kendall for holding my hand until I
went to sleep. Rosanna, and Evelyn and Dr. Oltean. Jeff would tell me the
handsome Doctor was in today. Vera McQuiston-Cawein, his mother, a strong,
independent, Irish lady. Jeff adores his mother and family. His stories of
hanging Rachel and Michelle on a hook while they had there overall on, so that
they could swing, still leaves me thinking. Perhaps the reason why God decided,
'NO CHILDREN FOR JEFF'. Thank you Jeff Martin, Patty, and Jeff, jr. (the Kid)
for stopping by and being my best friend. For Alexandria Webster and Xavier
Jimenez, take care of your mom, even when she says, "I do not need anyone to
care for me". As Jeff would say: SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL FARMER, IT IS NOT EASY WORK,
WE DO IT FOR THE LOVE OF FARMING AND FAMILY. Thank you Pastor Phil, for your
spiritual guidance to a man that made it complicated to learn. Your last visit,
put it in perspective for me. For Paul and the boys, thank you for helping me
reach 100 percent with the Bee Hives. You guys are what family unity is. Jeff, I
promise to continue your plans. Even at rest, you have me working. I adore you
Babe. I am at peace because now you are in Heaven. Please do not speak about
Politics Jeffrey! He would say my mother is the only one that can call me
Jeffrey. You can stop working now Jeff, enjoy your new life. Until I see you
again. - April 12, 1956 ~ July 1, 2022
