	To Jay- You now reside in unknown space, A place we cannot know. Transformed-you are beyond our reach, Outside this earthly glow. Do you soar with wings of eagle? Do you ride the crest of wave? On crowded streets we search for you. Only memory can save. You left behind-both young and old, With aching hearts and stinging tear. Our thoughts shall oft return to you With the hope that you are near.

	Dear Kara and Family, I served with Jay while he was stationed at Chanute AFB. Jay was on my flight and when I first met him. I realized quick, Jay was a friend to all and always eager to help. We had a lot of fun patroling the streets of Chanute together. Jay was one of the trully great guys and eventhough it has been years since I have last seen or talked to him, my air force memories always included Jay and I've always considered him a great friend. Jay had a sense of humor and smile that was like no other.......my heart is saddened for "Our" loss, my prayers and thoughts are with you.

	Jay, Thanks for the memories back in high school. I'm sorry to say that I didn't have the pleasure of meeting your family, but I am certain they too are great people. Rest well and keep God laughing till I get there.

	Dear DeLashmit Family ~ My thoughts and prayers are with you. Jay was such a huge part of our high school years and memories. Jay was such a great guy with a contagious smile and wonderful sense of humor. I know he was taken from you far too soon and I pray you can find a small bit of comfort in knowing how fondly he is remembered as we reflect on those memories and times we spent with him that were made so special by Jay just being Jay. Jay ~ I hope you have that smile on as you're walking with the angels! Many Blessings,

	Jay - we love you, however the UK would like you to take back the snow you sent us all. We do not have any snow plows so are basically at a standstill. Seriously who is going to make me brats in beer and beer can chicken, who is going to explain the rules of 'American' football to me, who is going to listen to Jons IT geek speak and who is going to ride them coasters with Jared? You are thats who as wherever we are you are with us in our hearts, minds, jokes and stories. It will not be possible to forget you as you have touched our lives and we feel so proud to have called you our best friend. Even though you never got to meet Jared, he will know you believe me!!!! Send us some sunshine soon. Love your best UK friends Jon, Nicolette and Jared

	Let me tell you a story that shows some of Jay's character. My family grew up down the street from Jay and his parents. Jay and I were on the track team together. One day after school, before practice, I was walking around the school with some other guys. It had rained recently and there were many large puddles. I think because I was on the smaller side of the scale, the other kids took a hold of me and threw me in one of the puddles. I was soaked to the bone. The tormenting continued...for awhile...apparently, Jay and one of his friends overheard things (I did not say anything to anyone...I was trying to be invisible and live through practice that day and get home). Next thing one heard in the locker room was what one could best describe as locker room justice. I did not have any more issues with those guys ever again. I hope this memory helps you. Peace be with you all.

	Kara So sorry to hear of Jay's passing, but being surrounded by family and friends during this difficult time must be very comforting. We have not been in contact for many years but think of you often and think fondly of the times spent with Jay and Doug during their growing up in Greenfield. You are in our thoughts and prayers, take care of yourself.

	May God Bless you at this time.....I have my own wonderful memories of Jay from the time we were small through High School.....playing sports together or just being kids. I know he surely will be missed from all of us from High school.

	Doug, I'm so sorry to hear of Jay's passing. He was a great guy and I still remember us all playing Legion baseball together and your Dad coaching us when we were kids. Take care and God bless. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

	Kara and all the Ernspigers; I love you guys. And I am sorry for your unspeakable loss. Kara, a special message for you: We are all called to love and to keep on loving, and we are called to love even when we are hurting. The anguish feels like forever--but look for the sign, Jay will send you one to show that he is now in the loving arms to which we all return--and there is great peace for us when we receive that sign. I believe all of our loved ones who have passed send us messages in this way--even though that sounds impossible. Laura sent me a streaming gleaming sunset--it was days after I arrived home from her funeral, but I knew instinctively that it was her. All--Have faith and lean together. And love each other. I am praying for each of you to be consoled. Peace. And Love, Beth

	He would leave the earth with it's troubles and fly. He knew the warmth of a clear spring sky. We spent days full of flying, he and I. A tail chase, a roll, great summer delight. Good conversation and a cookout at night. Cheers Pal, striker

	Jay, this was much too soon. You are leaving a big hole in this family that no one will be able to fill. I'm going to miss that goofy grin that became so familiar and lovable this past year. We will take care of Kara and Kalah for you, but no one will be able to do it like you did. Be well and safe and happy my friend, my brother (in-law). With love

	Just rest now. We'll pick up the kids. And don't worry about Mom and Dad. We'll get them to the doctor. You'll be at the Reds games with us this summer. We'll look for you there. And where ever we are, we'll drink a cold one for you. Just rest now.

	Kalah & Family, I am shocked and sadden by the loss of your father. I have lots of great memories of him that I will cherish forever. He loved you very much and he showed it everytime you were together. I'm so glad I got to see him recently and he seemed very happy. I know he is in a better place now and he will be with you everyday. I love you and hope you find peace and healing. Let me know if you need anything. Love Chelsea, Damien, and Owens Family

	Kara, I want to offer my sympathies on the loss of your husband. I think you and I may have met only once, but I also work at the VA Clinic, having recently returned to EOPC from the Owensboro Clinic. I wanted you to know how sad I feel for you and your family. Loretta Brown

	Sweet Baby Jay...Over the years, he made me laugh so hard I nearly wet my pants...well, maybe I actually did. Once or twice, he made me so mad I had to hit him up-side his head. He made me love him like a brother. I never expected him to make me so sad I would cry. Guess he will always be in my heart!
