Dear Rhonda and family, we were so sorry to hear of Jays Passing. We have not seen each other of many years but do see family events on Face Book. I have wonderful memories of you , Jay and the children from long ago. I have understood the cancer during his lifetime and admire his spirit in fighting . His long work history and beautiful life are so admirable. At 84 I do not travel long distances but if I were able I would give each of you a loving hug, love cousin Bill and Johnnie
