Uncle Jay was a special presence in my childhood. I will never forget my summers on the farm. I know your mom has her arms around him now, but you will miss him terribly. Know that you are all in my prayers.

We remember the Heller family when you lived near Londonderry. I visited your Dad at Red Carpet one day when I was going by the door and noticed the name. We always liked Jay & Mary.
