    Jay was one of my "crushes" in school. Such a funny , sweet guy that I remember. So sorry for your loss. I know he had his struggles and only hope he is at peace now.

    There are not enough words to express my sadness for your loss. I am so so sorry. When I think of Jay I always remember the joyous youthful years when he and Tony were happy-go-lucky companions and fast friends. Now sadly, we mourn them both. Friends in life--and now friends forever.
