It's been just over a month since we lost Daddy. He was a good, good man with a heart of gold. He worked hard all his life and loved us with all his heart.
We miss him dearly . . .
Always and always,
tia (2nd to youngest)

Dear Uta, Jay was always your rock and you were always his, you stuck by him through thick and thin. My heart goes out to you and your family, but I know you will stay strong. Jay was a fighter and was the hardest working man I have ever known and loved all his children and granchildren with all he had. He will be blessed for that and so will you. I hope the best for you and your family and know that you all will be in my prayers.
