    I always thought Jason was a good guy. The first thing I always think of when I think of Jason is the time he got out of his car at poinsett lake and it rolled into the water. The headlights still had water in them when he came to Jonesboro. R.I.P. Jason....

    Very sorry for your loss. I never got the chance to meet you, Mai, but I was Jay's best bud at JHS. We had some really good times together and I'll always remember his unique brand of humor--he made me laugh, and hardly anyone can do that. Jay did. We had on-going "inside jokes" that I still think about to this day, and that give me a chuckle--nearly 25 years later! I moved out of state and he went to the Navy, so we split ways and I often thought of how and what he was doing. I sure wish he were around so I could tell him how far I have come in life, but he left his mark as I can always think of those hilarious moments and just how funny he was, which comes in handy during difficult times. Goodbye, Jay! You'll be missed. I'll see ya at the Super Center some day (inside joke! Love ya!Very sorry for your loss. I never got the chance to meet you, Mai, but I was Jay's best bud at JHS.

    Oh Mai. I'm so sorry. I didn't know Jay was so very sick. You two have been on my mind so much lately. I'm just so sorry and know your heart is broken. I will try to find where you live and plan to be there at the service on Friday evening. My prayers are with you for comfort and strength.

    I am sorry to hear about Jay. I have not seen him since school but often wandered what happened to him. I still remember some of the crazy stunts he pulled in high school and the fishing trip out to his grandparents house in Harrisburg. He was a great guy!

    Mai, I just saw about Jay in the paper today. I am so sorry. He was always so nice and funny. You are in my prayers.

    Mrs. Snow, I know you don't know me, but I knew Jay. My daughter is Brandy Ragsdale. Jay use to come over to our house when they were still in school. He was always smiling and always polite. I saw him not long ago. Mother's Day I think. He was with Brandy and Ronnie. I am so sorry for your loss of your child. I am so sorry Brandy and Ronnie has lost a dear friend. Just know my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time and from now on. Respectfully Gwen Darnell
