Maria, Tony and family: I can still hear Jay's sweet voice on the back row of our choir loft. Now he's singing praises in a higher place. God bless.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

What I will miss most is not to hear “HEY HEY” at a store or at the gas station and to know before I turn around it was jay and to know that I was just moments away from one of his big bear hugs. The first question was how’s the girls, then to update me on is his boys. I had not seen Jay much after FedEx and our kids graduated from SMNW. He will be in our hearts forever.

Linda and family, I just want to say that you are all in my prayers. Jay will be missed. He always talked to me about his love for his Lord, and his family. He loved all of you so much. He loved going to Mexico for the mission trip. We will carry that on for him. Jay was a loving person he always had a smile on his face and a hug for everyone. I will miss him.

I will miss Jay dearly. No one has ever given a bear hug better. Jay cared for all he met. He always greated me with a smile and that big bear hug. Jay's passion for Casa Po Cristo will live on. He spent meany hours working on helping build homes for others. Now he has the home that Christ build for him. Jay is missed, but will not be forgotten. My prayers and condolences to all the Reyes family. You all are wonderful people.

Prayers to the Reyes family. It's so hard for me to believe Jay is gone so soon after Sammy. I feel for your loss. Jay was a good man that will be missed. I know it dosen't make it easier, but he is home. I believe, back with Sammy.
