Jay.... My love, my life, my soulmate... how much my heart hurts is beyond words. I thought we had forever. My best friend and my love is missing and I just have a void that is unbearable! I love you so much and thank you for loving me unconditionally! I am sure you are an angel looking over everyone and in on me, but I would give anything to have you beside me. Until we meet again my love, fly high and be free. Love always my heart... Cindy my thoughts and prayers are with your family!
