God bless you, Jay and Jonathan and all of your family! I know this is a difficult time for you. I have been friends with your Mom since I was 14 yrs old. We remained very good friends all of our lives. Most recently we exchanged text messages. I will miss her kindness and expressions of encouragement, but not, I know, as much as you will. Love and prayers! Barbara (Harkins) Warford
