Coke,

I cannot begin to imagine the heartache that you are experiencing due to the recent passing of Jay. I was not able to make the visitation on Sunday and I did not get a chance to talk with you after the Mass on Monday. Please pass on Kathy and my sincere condolences to Wanda, Ginny, and the boys. Jay and you and your family are in our prayers.

I was so sorry to hear of Jay's passing. I had the opportunity to meet and get to know Jay last year. I loved his stories and hearing of his dreams. His smile was contagious and he had the ability to make those around him feel welcomed and appreciated. When I think of Jay I will always remember his smile and what he wished for himself, which was giving to others. My prayers and thoughts are with Jays family during this difficult time.
