Not sure what to say?

Dear Aunt Rita, Mark, Cindy, Bob, Tom and Steve,

I'm so sorry to hear about Uncle Jay. It's so difficult to lose someone you're close to. I remember when I was in first or second grade, I was skipping home from Nativity, down the alley, and I tripped and fell on a large piece of glass. It was a deep cut and there were lots of tears since this was my first encounter with broken glass. Both my parents were at work and Grandma Brooks was in her bed, unable to get up and help me, so she...

Im so sorry for Your loss, I just heard of jay's passing and he is sorrly missed

Hello, Tom!! Sarah and I were saddened to learn of your dad's passing. Unfortunately, we were in New Orleans for the French Quarter Festival from 4/10 to 4/16 and missed Jay's memorial service. Just want you to know we're both thinking of you and your family during this difficult time and so sorry we couldn't be with you. Love from your two S.A.P.H. atrium pals,
Charlie DeVore and Sarah Johnson

Our condolences to the Brooks Family.
I knew Jay from our years at Northwest. He was so easy to know and get along with.

Dear Aunt Rita, Mark, Cindy, Robert, Tom & Steve,

I'm sorry that we grew so far apart over the years, but my memories of my Godfather will stay with me forever.

Dear Rita,
I'm sorry I can't be with you and your family at this sad time. I looked for your address and couldn't find it. When things calm down, please give me a call. Your friend and former neighbotr - Dorothy Neudahl 763-331-0541 I live in Blaine.

Dear Aunt Rita and Cousins Mark, Cindy, Robert, Tom and Steve:

My deepest sympathy to you and your families. Lucky for me, I got to talk with Uncle Jay in January. No one could tell a funny story like he could; he always had us laughing with the tales he told. He was one of a kind.

Dear Cindy, Mark,Bob, Tom and Steve,
My thoughts and prayers are with each of you during these days. Your dad and I had many conversations over this past year and he certainly embraced what was happening to him and placed it in God's hands.
I thank God for all the wonderful family we both grew up in.
May God now graciously gather him in His arms and give you all comfort.
Love and hugs to your Mom.
Rose Erin (Rosie) and
husband Jim.

Dear Aunt Rita, Mark, Cindy, Robert, Tom and Steve,

My condolences to you and your families. I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to visit with Uncle Jay in January. It was nice to see that he was so upbeat and his humor was still intact. What a great man. He will be truly missed by many.
