Uncle Jay,
I am going to miss you so much! Even though I live another state away I always make it to see you every visit, it will be hard to no longer see you. I am sorry I did not get a chance to say goodbye, but just know that as soon as I heard of your passing I was there for you as you were for me when I was young. I am your youngest neice and you will always be my favorite Uncle. I will never forget our camping trips and you trying to teach me to fish. I love you and will miss you so much.
