"What's up, cuz?", is what you just said to me on Saturday. I can still hear it, and a handshake and a hug!Jay, I always looked up to you, even though we only saw each other a few times a year these days, you were a big part of my life growing up. You all were, the whole family. Hey, do me a favor, sit down and have a beer with Murf...for me! It was too soon, I will miss you at Christmas and any other family things that are going on, but we know you will be there with us in spirit. Alex, Jade, I know it is easy for someone to say it, but stay strong,you are good kids, and you need to be there for your mom as well. Debbie, Sandy, the rest of you guys, we are and have been thinking about you, and love you all very much. I am trying not to wonder why, and remembering all that Jay was..to everyone!
Love always,
Mark, Renae & Madison

To Debra, Sandy and family,
What painful news to receive regarding Jason's passing. I was lucky enough to enjoy six years' of Jason's company thru junior high and high school. It was always comforting to know someone who shared your sense of humor. I guess we'll never know exactly what goes through one's thoughts and soul, but I hope that someday the joy of Jason's life will overshadow the pain you're having to bear. On behalf of the Dieruff Class of '86, please accept our sincerest condolences.

You are more than just family to us. You are our best friend and our hero. You made us a stronger couple. You were always there for us when we needed someone, whether it was just a hug or to talk, it was always something special to us. You always dropped everything you were doing to take care of us. Not only was it just for us but you did everything for everyone. You always lifted us up when we fell, you always took our hand to keep us walking, and you always made us a stronger person when we were at our weakness. You always never let us fail in life. You taught us the right paths to take in life and you also helped us get to our goals in life. Jay, you saved our lives and we can not thank you enough. In the past 2 years, not only did you make us a stronger couple but also as individuals. You know what we are talking about Uncle Jay. We would not have been able to do it without you. Thank you!!! We love you Uncle Jay and keep watching over us and taking care of us and our family. We still need you!!! You are an amazing uncle. Rest In Peace Uncle Jay... You will definitely be missed and never forgotten. We love you!!!
Love Always,
