Man of Faith
Jay was a great man of Faith. Since I met him about 20 years ago, he has been one of my Faith mentors. He will be missed but the legacy of his faithfulness to our Lord will live within me forever. I am so sad to learn of his passing but am absolutely sure of his eternal life of purity, peace and perfection with God and Nancy in heaven. I trust the family will be comforted by this truth.

I am sure they are both rejoicing in the presence of Jesus our Lord and Savior! Looking forward to that time when we will meet again. Praying that the promise of eternal life give his family peace and comfort.
