Not sure what to say?

Jay Seems like yesterday that we were enjoying New Year´s celebration laughing and being silly. Miss all that and your great sense of humor. Nathan

Jay,

Difficult to believe that it is two years since you left us. I continue to miss are collegial discussions and "the good old days". You remain in our thoughts

Nathan

Hey Jay,
Thinking of the great times at Bowman Gray School of Medicine. You definitely had a unique perspective on it all. Just found out via the Alumni Association letter.
What a premature loss!
Shalom to you and your family!

We met Dr. Neufeld at a very scary time in our lives when our son was recovering from near fatal multi-system traumatic injuries. He was a calming, reassuring presence and gave us answers to all our questions and worries during a lengthy recovery. Our son is doing well now but it was a shock to hear of Dr. Neufeld's passing. It is like taking the training wheels off a bike and believing we can make it without Dr. Neufeld's help. We love the mis-matched socks! When life has you down, you...

A wonderful person who always wore a smile. Condolences to the Neufeld family.

My son LOVED Dr. Jay's crazy unmatched socks he wore each visit! My son checked his socks each visit! We never have to worry about matching socks at our home again for our son! He loves crazy unmatched socks now!

Dear Wendy,

We enjoyed more than 10 years of excellent cooperation with Jacob on the Journal of Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine. He was a dedicated Editor and devoted to his work as a doctor. We will continue the journal in this spitit and are grateful to have known and worked with him.

Dear Wendy and family:

My heart is broken over the passing of Jay. As I read all of the condolences, there are many words used to describe him, the most common of which are caring, compassionate and simply a really good human being. Jay and I grew closer with each other's families though our mutual work ar Children's Hospital Oakland. He was an extremely devoted doctor,, but what I loved best was his honesty, integrity and high standards he held himself to. I deeply admired that...

God Bless you Dr. J, Wendy and your wonderful family and loved ones. Your passing was way to soon. In addition to all of the other contributions you have made, thank you very much for the Dr. Molnar Fund with the Foundation of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. This fund will continue to serve children and adults with physical needs throughout their lifespan and would not have been created without your vision and energy. You are dearly missed and your legacy will go on in our hearts...
