Not sure what to say?

Jay came into my life when he was 16, just a year before I married his dad. He captured my heart. He was a joy to be around, so charming, so funny as well as an adventure. He had a thirst for life and drank from the cup with gusto. After his dad donated his kidney to him, Jay's life took on a whole new meaning. For the following 26 years he lived that life to the fullest sharing his numerous talents as an esteemed professional and devoted husband, father, son and friend. He faced his death...

Dearest Fretz Family,
My deepest condolences go out to you all. I only knew Jay over the phone through a software program I shared with Jay at Daniels BMW. I spoke to Jay only over the phone and could feel his true sincerity and warmth. I knew he was a man of his word and integrity.
May God bless him and your family.
With sincere condolence,

To the Fretz family,

We've been away and just learned of Jay's passing. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you, just as they've been since he recently became sick. I'll always remember Jay as one of my first friends way back in the First Grade at Lincoln School, when we moved to Emmaus. He was a good friend to me and many others. I know he was always very proud of his family and loved them very much. We hope and pray that you will have peace, knowing he is in a...

Wanda, Jared and Christian,
Sending my deepest condolences. Jay was an incredible man. As you know I went from calling him Mr. Fretz in the neighborhood growing up to Jay, my friend. He was an incredible man and we are all so lucky to have had him in our life.
Jared and Christian I understand you pain as I was in your shoes this past June. There is no greater pain than losing your parent. Lean on each other and your loved ones to get through this difficult time. As my father is for...

Life.....so fragile, Loss....so sudden, Heart....so broken,...in the wake of such a loss, we are haunted by things we dont, and may never understand. Yet the solace we seek may not come from answers. So we look for comfort in the belief of love's everlasting connection. May that love lift you and hold you close, and give you peace.
Love
