"One in a Million" Jay, we won't forget you Although we'll grieve for you for awhile. We'll cherish your easy going and patient ways And that loveable, goofy smile. A quiet and gentle giant, You navigated through life in your own way, No one can say you didn't "live it up". You're one in a million, Jay. Adored by your nieces and nephews, You found such joy in being with them. You filled so many roles to us, uncle, son, brother, nephew, cousin, soul mate, and friend. Although we'll never know why you went, You were meant to leave us here. We'll carry you always in our memories and hearts And remember the last 29 years. It's so hard for us to say goodbye, So as we honor you we'll say, We miss you always, we love you lots, You're one in a million, Jay. — Nicole Keim, cousin Martens-Laemmrich Funeral Home Menasha 920-722-8252 Light a candle in memory of Jay at: www.martens-laemmrichfuneralhome.com |
