Auntie and Uncle,
I grew up never really knowing Jay; but still he played a huge roll in my life. He was always the one person you could count on to tell anything. He was a role model to many with his great words of wisdom and his overall loving and outgoing presence. He was an amazing person and may he rest in peace for eternity; he deserves it.
