So sorry for your loss. Tobey escaped the yard a few months ago and I found her running around while walking my dog and met Jay when he came to pick her up just a couple streets over. I’m glad to see she has a good home.
All the great memories of playing with Jay as kids when we would come to visit all the family in Inkster. What a great cousin, always so kind and cared about your feelings and well being. The days, the weeks, the months the years flew by so fast. I am not sure where time went.
All the tribulations are past of this earthly life, now you can rest at ease until the second coming of Christ when you will be resurrected and we shall meet again in the new home God has prepared. See you then.
Love Bryce
My fondest memory of Jay is he and I doing circle work on the intersection by the honey plant and the Ryan building Jay in his white car. Was it a Plymouth or a Dodge? Me in my Chev wagon Middle of winter, nothing much to do. Good times. Go in peace Jay. You so deserve it.
