JAY MCCOLLUM

Tim and Beth,
As I try to think of the words to say, my heart aches for you and tears come to my eyes. Even though we have lost touch, you were very dear friends and the memories I have of many, many great times we had together flood my mind. I can't even begin to imagine the dark road you are having to travel. All I can seem to offer is to let you know that my heart aches for you and you have been and will continue to be in my prayers.

Sent with much sorrow and full of...

I had the pleasure of teaching Jay in my English class at Auburn University. He was a good student and a fine young man. I only just found out about his passing, and I cannot tell you how profoundly sorry I am.

I remember he wrote once about his first vehicle - a white Toyota truck - and how proud he was when he got it. He talked about working on it to make it just so and going mud-riding with his friends. He said leaving that truck behind and getting his new car was like closing one...

We are sorry for your loss!
Sincerely,
McGough Family

I was privileged to have Jay as a student in middle school and again in high school at STJ. I remember asking if any of the students had a parent who would like to help judge the Furlong tournament. Jay wrote his Dad's name and phone # on a piece of paper and gave it to me. Jay was so sweetly proud of his family. I remember him talking about his grandfather and their special relationship. He was a grateful young man who was other oriented and always respectful. My prayers will continue...

So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to you! May God give you the strength to get through the days ahead.

Please accept my deepest sympathy, I didnt know your son but he has a smile out of this world. I pray the Lord helps to heal your heart at this terrible time of you life. Be blessed.

I don't know you all but I have ONE son that will be 22 years old this month and He is a Senior at ASU here in Montgomery. I am also a mother that heart is so heavy with pain for your family today. To this family I am sorry for your lost. We live in a world where everything happen for a reason I don't know the reason, but God does. From reading about Jay GOD needed another young Angel to come and set at his feet. Our God is a just GOD to just to make any mistakes. I will continue to pray for...

Beth,
We went to birthing class together.... you probably don't remember, and I had forgotten..but when I saw Jay's picture, I thought, yes, that is the little boy I remember! I am praying for you Beth, and for your family. You, and Jay are loved by so many, and so many people are praying for you all. May God grant you the strength, comfort and courage you all so desperately need now. Laura Hartman Fuller
