To Jay's Family,
Although he has been missing from the Reflections on Silver Lake family for awhile he will always be remembered as "one of the good guys"! I can still hear his voice...it was my pleasure to know him.
Rest in Peace, Brenda Richards

Colleen, I was making yet another attempt to find/reach you when I saw this. I am so sorry for your loss. I remember your dad well, and he was a fine man. Both of your parents were second to none. Know that I continue to think of you and your family and hope we might talk one day before too long.
Love to you and your family,
Maggie
