Dear John and Dot, and to Jay's wife and children:
It is with the greatest sadness that I recently learned of Jay's untimely passing. I offer my sincerest condolences in this time when disbelief reigns and nothing makes sense. A little more than a year ago, my younger brother passed suddenly and our family was likewise propelled unwillingly into grief and despair. All I can offer is the knowlege that if you all lean on eachother, the journey through grief can be navigated one step at at time. Jay will stay with you all in ways you do not yet foresee, as spirits stay among the ones they love until the day we are all together again. You have my deepest sympathy in this very brutal time.

Dear Kerrie, Lindsey, Mackenzie and Ian;
I cannot completely express my deep sorrow at this time and can only imagine what you are all going through, Rest assured that Jay loved you with all of his heart every single day of your lives together and that his love will remain with you always. Jay and I shared so much of life together. Through the teen years into adulthood, Jay, David and I were always there for one another. Today we will stand togethor and mourn his lost, but Jay would not want that to last for long. He would want us to gather together in happiness and remember all the fun times we shared and have a party in his name; and so one day we shall.
I’ve lost a brother, and the best buddy a guy could wish for. The Andrews Sisters will live in our hearts forever.

Kerrie~ Our heart aches for you and your beautiful children for such a tragic and untimely loss of your loving devoted husband, father and best friend. Jay has been there for you in good times and bad, he was and always will be, if not in body, in heart and soul. Please remember that he treasured every minute with you and your children. You all have been through so much, but Jay believed in what you had and gave you what you need to go on, as difficult as it may seem. He told he is proud of you.... just take it one day at a time,. We will always be there for you, but you know that. It is said that there are holes in the floor of heaven and we believe that. Jay will be watching over you and there will be signs, whether they are obvious or not, but you will see and feel them. Life can be cruel, we know that and there isn’t any rhyme or reason , but we also know that life can be filled with love and beauty… both of which you have, the love that you shared with Jay, that can never be taken away, and the love that created the three beautiful legacies that will carry on. Jay lives in all of you….. We love you all….. Stacey, Paul and Ryan
Linsey, Kenzie and Ian~ please remember how much daddy loved you and he will always be with you in your heart and soul. Daddy was so proud of you and would want you to move forward, even though it may seem so very hard right now. We will be there for you and your mom…..Love and big hugs, Auntie Stacey, Uncle Paul and Ryan

Dear Kerrie, Linsey, Mackenzie and Ian, I had the pleasure to work very closely with Jay over the past 8 years at Stolt. He was very professional to work with and between the two of us, we had a some fun while coordinating very complicated shipping programs. Jay was always very hardworking and competent and knew his job very well. (I always wished he operated more of my service's ships.) He was a great friend and I will miss him very much. He always spoke of you all and loved you all very much. May God bless and protect you all and give you comfort in the days to come. Our hearts go out to you.
With deepest sympathies,

To all who are a part of our family, extended family and friends: As you all know we have had our share of tragedies these past few years losing loved ones so unexepectedly and at such young stages in our lives. May this be a reminder to us all that life, every minute, is precious and not to be wasted. I lost one of my best friends to cancer and now my brother-in-law to my younger sister.
Please live each day to the fullest and enjoy and love the ones who surround you.
Kerr, you will get through this but only one day at a time. Know that Jay not only loved your children, but was a man to his word, he stood by you in good times and bad, sickness and in health. You could not have asked for a better person to stand by you and be your spouse.
...you can spend all your time making money, you can spend all your love making time... live by that.
I love you and welcome your 5:00 am calls. I will always be here for you and your and Jay's children.
love and filled with such sadness, Jode
