Janice and family so sorry to hear about Jay. Here is a little poem for all to remember your brother, family, and friends of Jay.
God called your name so softly
That only you could hear
And no-one heard the footsteps
Of angels drawing near
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you did not go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home

God be with you all!
