Jay was one of my best friends and I will miss him everyday. He had a way of making me smile everytime I was down, and everytime I wasn't. He had a smile that would light up a room, and a sense of humor like no other. He will be missed by so many, as I know he touched so many people he met. He is a true hero, and I will keep his memories alive. He will never be forgotten.
