Donna and families Jay's funeral today was the most touching funeral I have ever attended.I could feel the spirit of the Lord in that place. All of the kind words which were said about Jay and the families were unusual in these days and times. A good christian man and woman like you and Jay are such good examples for all the young folks today. We love you!!!
