While I am unable to attend the services, I want to pass on to everyone that Jay was the strongest man I have ever known. His intestinal fortitude was evident in everything he ever did. He treated everyone like family, and he held family close. I have many, many fond memories with Jay. He was a friend to everyone and would always remind me to do what was right. I try to live my life as Jay wanted me to. Do it right, or don't do it at all. I will always have a place in my heart for him, and know he is watching over us. I just want to make him proud.
