To Jay's family,
My deepest sympathies to all of Jay's family & friends. May all of your memories bring you comfort in your time of loss. May his childreen grow with all the memories of their dad.
Let the memories of Jay bring you happy times that they will be special with you forever.
As being left here on earth without are childreen is the hardest thing a parent has to do . As he is in gods hands now and so the day will come that you will join him, as he has god's work to do now.
I know he will be greatly missed by everyone.

We are so sorry about your loss. Jay graduated with my sister and he was a close friend and co-worker of my brother. Jay even got him the job. Anything you need, please let us know. R.I.P, Jay, you will surely be missed.

To Jays family
our deepest sympathy on your loss, it was 1 1/2 years ago that me and my husband flew to Florida and I saw this guy on our flight that said hi how have you been - and then on the flight home he was also on our flight and sat next to me and starting talking away like we were old friends, It took me a few minutes to realize who it was, and then Jay and I had quite a conversation catching up on family and friends, and he was proud of his children and had just visited one in florida. He had been golfing and was just enjoying life like we knew Jay to do.

Dear Jim, Shirley and family,
I don't even know where to start. Jay was always like a brother to me growing up, I don't know how we got so far apart over the last 20 years. I can still remember graduation night with him on the back of my motorcycle, foot still in a cast with the crutches across the seat between us. I haven't quite figured out how we survived that night, much less the years in between. I couldn't believe it when my wife told me this morning... I still can't. I can't imagine what you're all going through, but please know that you're in our hearts and prayers. He always had a way of making me laugh (usually at myself) that I'll carry with me, and I hope you can keep it in your hearts, too.

Jay it has been a long time since I have seen you, but I will always remember us as kids playing at grandpa's farm, crushing the corn and making forts, jumping out of the hay loft, riding the tractor and lets not forget that old tire swing.
