Dear Anna & Family:

I am sorry to hear of the passing of Jay. Jay and I worked together from many years at M&MMars. You may remember me as I was at your wedding.

Dear Anna, Ashley and Jay,

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. May God be with all of you during this time. Deborah Rich and Abbie King

I am so saddened to hear of Jay's passing. I have so many memories of his friendship from our time at Virginia Tech.

Anna, Ashley and Jay, all of Jay's brothers from ZBT are deeply saddened at the news of Jay's passing. Even though we may not have kept in touch like we wish we had, we will always remember Jay smiling, joyful and full of life. May God give you peace in this time of great sorrow.

Anna and Family,
I am so saddened and stunned by this news. I knew Jay while at Virginia Tech and then I worked at J R Tucker for many years - his name is still on several athletic plaques there. You are all in my thoughts.

We are saddened to hear of Jay's passing. You all are in our thoughts and prayers at this time.

Jay and I became friends in the 6th grade at Jackson Davis Elementary. I also had the opportunity to play sports with Jay through high school. He was one the best all around athletes to play at Tucker High. Football, baseball, and basketball all came natural to Jay. I haven't seen Jay in over 40 years but I do remember that he was always smiling. I am truly sorry for your loss.

Anna and Family,

I am so very sorry to hear about Jay. It has been a long time since I have seen him, but I remember all the great times we shared at Tech when Jay came back after the Army. Many of his Fraternity brothers still laugh about all the fun we had at your wedding. I am heartbroken for you and your children's loss. God Bless, my thoughts are with you.

Dear Anna & family, I am so sorry for the loss of your father. This is such a shock and so sad. My prayers and thoughts are with all of you.
