I want to let you know how sorry I am to hear about Jay. He was great to work with and since he was a client of mine it sounds strange to say but I trusted him. Jay was always fair to deal with. I will miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Debbie and your family. Sincerely Hank Hendrickson
