The Jennings family,
I am so sorry for your loss. This is one of the toughest things we face in life, and I know God is with you. Jay was so kind, and a true softball fan. He carried Amanda and Rachel around for years, and you could tell he got so much joy from watching Amanda play. My family's thoughts and prayers are with you.

Donna. I am truely sorry for your loss. I know you and the children will miss Jay terribly. Just know that God is with him and He is looking down on you and watching you and the children from above as a handsome angel. I will pray for you and your family that you find peace in your hearts and know that God is with you every step of the way.

Donna, I want to tell you truly how sad it is for your loss. I know Jay tried to be a great husband to you, and he loved Amanda and Todd with his whole heart. I remember meeting Jay at the field when I crashed my first airplane. I gave him the plane and he explained why it crashed. So we took the good pieces off and I put them on my next airplane.
The help he gave me created a great friendship. He has always been honest with me and made me laugh quite a few times, but he also spoke highly about Amanda and Todd. Donna, Jay cared for you too. He was a great person and I really enjoyed knowing him.
Death is a sad time in our lives Donna, and it was never in God's plan for this to happen. Soon God will bring an end to death and the one who causes humans all the pain and sorrow we now go through. I look forward to this promise found in the Bible Donna and I hope you will too. Revelation 21:3-4 and John 5:28-29.

Donna, Amanda & Todd...
I am so stunned & saddened by the news of Jay's passing. I have many pictures that he took of Alexandra during her time with Amanda when with the Stars AAU team and now that Alexandra and Amanda are again together on the Rumble, was looking forward to seeing Jay with his camera. He was always ready with a quick smile and always had something to say. Having experienced the recent sudden passing of my husband, I know how you must be feeling right now and my heart goes out to you all. Alexandra and I want you to know how much we appreciated the time we spent with Jay. He was a wonderful person, father and husband and will be missed.

Donna, Amanda, and Todd,
I am just so stunned and saddened at Jay's unexpected passing I do not know how to express my feelings. My thoughts are with you frequently during this sad time. Jay was a wonderful husband, father, and friend. We will all miss him so very much.
