Jay, I am truly saddened by Vickie's passing. She was a wonderful, compassionate person and will be missed by so many. Vickie was "life-giving" to all that were fortunate enough to meet her because of her kindness. I will keep your family and the Darby family in my prayers until all of you are reunited with Vickie again one day.

We shared some splendid time with you both at a mutual friend's house over a year ago; we didn't know you well before but after a long weekend together enjoying Vickie's Breville coffee machine, we learned quickly what a wonderful woman Vickie was. Someone used the word "sparkling" which fits perfectly to the person I came to know. Vickie will be missed. My prayers are with the families as you all continue through this difficult time. Peace be with you all.

Jay, I am so sorry about Vickie. I knew she was not doing well because of your absence during the holidays. I saw Drake Thursday and he confirmed my fears. You and your Dad have been caring for my family for 60 years and 4 generations. I have been so lucky to have you my physician and friend. You have been there for us during the worst of times. I feel extra sorrow because Vickie's fight with cancer coincided with mine and now she is in heaven while God has granted me an extension. Please know that my prayers are with you and the kids. I remain not just your patient but your friend. Mark Smith

Dr. Jay,
There are never any words adequate to express our heart felt sympathy to all the extended family during this time of the going 'Home' of your beloved wife, and friend, Victoria. But, God - in His Grace & Mercy & with Time does a Mighty Work to help us Maintain, walk on, stay the course, and will even prepare a miraculous recall of precious memories, special occasions, and things that are intended to bring added support and Comfort! God Bless You & The Children during this time ... And, Thank You for being such a wonderful family Physician and friend and have been with us through a lot of difficult occasions...Respectfully yours: Roy Lee & Norma Gable
February 23, 2015
Dr. Jay, Our hearts go out to you and all the extended family, prayers will continue for each family member daily, as you continue Your life's journey! You are a deeply loved, respected, and considered honorably to know You as our family physician through our many years of trials, sickness, and emergencies. . . I cannot possibly understand but just a note of compassion and encouragement:
" Trying to come to terms with the loss of a loved one is surely the most painful of life's experiences. Regardless, what sorrow and heartache you feel God knows and understands our grief, He wants to embrace us with His love and comfort our broken hearts. As we read through these passages - God's hand is stretched out to reassure us as he says; "Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid" John 14:27 - Roy Lee Gable & Norma Gable, Argo, AL

You have been my physician for many years and have cared for my medical needs. My prayer is that our Father in heaven will wrap His loving arms around you and care for your family. May you celebrate your wife's life and the joy she brought to you and the children.
May the presence of Jesus be with you that He may illuminate the dark times with the warmth of HIs love.
May the Lord bless you and your family, may He make His face to shine upon and be gracious unto you, may He grace you with His love.
Your brother in Christ;
