Dear Mrs. Mantooth, Danny & Danise,
I can't express in words how sorry I am for your loss .. All of us who had the pleasure of coming to know Jay were better for it! He had the ability to make you smile, and although, he may have shown sarcasm in many things, his heart was light and his demeanor ALWAYS reflected that. He liked to tease and poke fun, but that just endeared you to him more, because that was his way of keeping you a bit more grounded. It had been way to long since I saw him last, but his smile and laughter will never be forgotten.. I will continue to pray for Jay, and for all of you and your families during this very difficult time..
Love to all of you,
Cheryl Brezinsky-Muscato
