You were the only one who loved me no matter what I did. You and only You truly were brave and honest enough to work thru MY "issues". even when you were disappointed or angry I never doubted u loved me for me. That you accepted all of me and because of your friendship love and support I AM emotionally and mentally well. happy and spiritually sound. Thank you for standing by me. I learned how to lean on you, learned so much about Tough love, secret hurts and trusting in myself because of you. Never ever ever will I hide or protect or allow anyone to hurt me. I will never be afraid to Love again. Because of you. that gift was priceless! thank u for loving US. ;) leslie and the "boys" We.... ALL MISS AND LOVE YOU WITH ALL OUR HEARTS!

One additional note:

Jay was one of my dearest friends, and although he was shy in front of the camera, I was always taking photos of him.

As a result, I have a large collection of digital pictures of Jay, many taken this year.

Contact me if you would like me to send you an assortment of them.

God bless.

Sorry to hear about your loss. He was really at a young age.

My sister Carrie sent this to me.

It seems like yesterday, we lived in that trailer park in San Jose and then on the other hand, it seems like years ago....

Take care,
Mary Ellen
