I remember Jay as a young boy who went through so much dealing with the health issues that life had presented him and overcoming them. His smile and his love as he would visit me and call me Auntie Holly. Jay just made you feel good. How he was there for me when I was going through a rough time to give me support and any help he could, his heart was so big. I watched as I saw his love and devotion for his kids and the obvious pride at being their dad. I will always have my memories of Jay and my love for him as he was a very special young man in my life and always will be.

Love you Jay

Jay, by baby boy, your body is gone and I cannot feel your arms around me. I am so proud of the man and father that you became. As your children are the light of your life so you are the light in my life. I miss you so much and our long conversations. You will always live on in my heart and in the smiles of your babies. keep sending those messages so I know you are at peace and still with me. I love you always my boy.

Unfortunately I only got to know Jay a few years ago. I first met him when he came to visit his Auntie Holly who I had just started to see. Jay was protective of her and being so was a little uncertain of this new man around her. I guess I passed his standards for his auntie as I got to know him as the one and only "JAY" that he was and always will be in my mind and heart. You left us far too soon young man and will be greatly missed by all who were lucky enough to have known you.
