To The Poole Family, A loved one that has finished their life on earth it's not over, their life has just begun. They are still with us in spirt. That you must beleive. I had the pleasure of meeting JayJay during his high school years, I was his Bus Driver, as he came on the bus he would speak and as he left off he would say something, very respectful. Always remember the good times you had with him. May God bless this family and keep them together.

He kept at true good humour's mark
The social flow of pleasure's tide:
He never made a brow look dark,
Nor caused a tear, but when he died.
