Dear Colleen & Family,
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. We are terribly sorry to hear about your great lose. Your Dad "is" an awesome man and will still be a part of your everyday lives. Stay strong and always pray.
Love, The Brunnworth Family

I'm sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. We were classmates at MHR and attended Marriage Preparation classes together, as our partners were living out of town, we were the two singles. My prayers are with you and your families.

I was so sorry to read of Jay's passing. I was in high school with Jay and Ellen. He will be remembered by many whose lives he touched. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Jay grew up two blocks away from me in Syracuse. He was the total package of a wonderful person from a wonderful family. To his family I send my prayers and thoughts...

Colleen, Catherine and John,
I had the pleasure of babysitting you as infants and toddlers many years ago. Your father was such a wonderful person. Although I was a teenager at the time, I remember thinking what an awesome dad he was during such a difficult time in your lives. He washed bottles, changed diapers, kissed "boo-boo's" and was extremely thankful when I cleaned up the dishes and you were all sleeping when he came home. I never forgot him because of his kind, loving personality,...

You continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. Our deepest sympathies go out to you, Catherine & Colleen, and to your brother too. Safe travels.

I was so sorry to hear about Jay's passing. He was such a wonderful person and I was glad to know him all those years. When I last spoke with him around Easter this year, I didn't realize he was that ill. My sympathies are with all of you. I know that God's love will sustain you and that Jay is in His eternal care.
