Melvin, I know this a sad time and there is nothing I can say that will make this any easier..I still think about the good times we had, you, Bill Cox, Marshal Messer. May God be with you and your loved ones.
I am sorry to hear about Jay , my prayers are with the family.
We were very sad to hear about Jay. She was a very nice person and our mother Juliet Noblett thought of her as a very dear friend. They had alot of good times together. Mom often talked about Jay and she was very special to her. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Sheila, Connie, Eddie and Linda Noblett
