Jay was a wonderful father and father in law. I enjoyed watching football games ( LSU and Cowboys) with him at family gatherings. He had a fantastic eye for the thousands of pictures he took. I'd like to think he had an impact on my kids' artistic talent. He loved his wife, kids, grandkids, great-grandkids, and sons-in-law. I will miss him so much. So..Adios... That's Spanish. We'll all see each other in Gods presence.
Many times I visited with Jay and there was a camera between us. I imagine there is much beauty in heaven and Jay has his camera working overtime right now trying to capture it all. He was always super nice and fun to visit with. I am thankful for Jay, for his long, full, and meaningful life, and for the love he shared with his family and friends. That love will continue and never die and will live on through Sara, his kids, and grandchildren.
