We are so very sorry to hear about the loss of Jay. The hardest thing in life I think is having to part with a loved one. I pray the many, many memories you have of him will give you solace. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you, Tamar and your children, and also to Gary and Mrs. Betty.

It is so sad to lose a classmate and a friend. Mrs. Betty, Gary, Tamar, Dawson & Ben my heart hurts for you and your family's loss. Jay was a special man that was always smiling and willing to help others. I understand what a hole this leaves in ones heart. I pray for comfort and peace for you all and I hope you can enjoy and reflect on all the wonderful memories you all had as such a tight and loving family.

Every once in a while in your life you meet someone that leaves an impression. Jay was that kind of person. Dedicated to his family and giving to his community, he will be truly missed. Semper vigilans, Jay. Hank and Nancy Rogers and Family

Tamar, I just don't know what to say. I'm sorry seems so inadequate. My heart does ache for you and I have been praying. I will continue to pray and hope that one day the pain is tolerable and the memories are sweet.

What wonderful memories Raymond and I have of all the fun times through the years. Whether it was working in the back yard, cooking and eating, or just enjoying the tailgating together, we will hold dear to our hearts the many good times. Our prayers and thoughts are with Jay's sweet family.

We cannot fathom the heartbreak y'all are going thru right now. Jay was such a big ol' teddy bear. One of our Cub Scout dads from years ago and a former Sunday School classmate and seen a lot in and around my building on campus, (just recently). Many, many prayers going up for the family in the days, week and years to come. I have no doubt, that in the blink of an eye - that big ol' teddy bear became an awesome guardian angel!

I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. My family and I knew Jay and attended the same church when we lived in Starkville eleven years ago. Jay will be remembered for the kind, friendly person he was to everyone he knew. Please know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers during this time and for the days ahead.
