Comments: Dear Kim
I was at work thinking about people that have truly mattered to me in my life & I thought of you, Jay, your mom and dad. Anyone who knows me, knows about my best friend Kim and her brother Jay from high school. I often share stories about us with my husband and 3 kids. Trying to let our kids know be there and done that. Jay is actually the reason I tried to look you up today.I wanted to let you know, that I often think about all of you. I know many years have past and many different paths have be taken. But truly great people never leave us. Even if they have left this earth they have not left our hearts. Time may pass but our hearts never forget. My memories go back a long way hanging out with you guys in Durham. I love you like a sister and that has never changed. I don't know if you are local, but if you would like to drop me a email. Maybe we can get together and catch up. Tell your mom and dad hi, and I hope and pray you are all doing well. Love always Deneen

Comments: Jay was in my life for a short time in High School.He was the 1st person that I ever loved. My parents wouldn't let me date him. That didn't stop us. To this day I still love him. I reached out to Dana Norwood who gave me the news. I just wanted to find out he was happy and had a family. I was not expecting to get the news I received. I was at the beach visiting my parents. Had Chris,Dana,Jay,and I just kept in touch. I could've been at the hospital in 25 minutes. Someone he knew could have been with him until his family could get there. I have cried everyday since I found out. Mrs. Jarman I feel your pain everyday. Kim I'll never forget us looking for my sandals and finding them under his pillow. Jay you will always have your own part of my heart, you always have. I myself am very sick knowing that you are up their, I'm not afraid anymore. I send all of my love to your family. I always knew you were special, and special you will always be. I love you Jay now and forever, Laurie

Comments: Getting ready to move back to NC. I remember when this happened. I was wondering if anything was new. I wish we could exact our own retribution on people who kill bikers. People in cars need a deterrent otherwise they don't care and never will. Its sad,
Comments: Just wanted to send a note to everyone... Jay's Guestbook wasn't working for a bit, but we think we have it fixed now. Apologies to those who posted recently and didn't see your entry added right away. Thank you all so very much for your love and well wishes...
-always Jay's sister, Kim

Comments: Each time I watch the slideshow of Jay with his family, friends and beloved bikes I find myself staring at the screen with a goofy grin on my face and tears streaming down my face. His light was so bright. My greatest wish is that with passage of time your memories of him bring you more smiles than tears. Sending love and loads of blue light... XO Mo

Comments: I have never written on here, but wanted to today. I haven't ridden my harley but 3 times since Jay's death. I just didn't have the desire much. I rode to Jay's funeral, Jay and Pete's Bike show, and Jay's ride to Curly's for honoring Jay and Fallen bikers.
For those of you who don't know me, Jay was my best friend, we were closer than brothers. My son has always called Jay "uncle Jay". Jay also built the motor for my Harley, I took it to him for a tune up and by the time he finished, it was fully polished and dyno'd out 94 HP. Now I am sure Jay is looking down on me and saying "you gonna ride now"? My birthday is on the 29th and his was on the 18th, so we always did something together around this time of year. Thanks for the help Jay and happy birthday buddy! I miss ya!
Lately I have been thinking alot about him and so Today I went to get tags for my bike. I knew it was gonna be an ordeal since I had not tagged it since 2003. I knew it was gonna cost me a fortune. We'll I got insurance, no problems. Taxes taken care of, then inspection without any hitches. All of this in less than a hour. Well I get back to the DMV to get the tags and they tell me "you gotta have new plates cause yours have been reissued" . " I said OK whatever I need" The man went and got my plate and laid it on the counter and my new plate is 4J1893. I know Jay was looking down on me and helping me every step of the way. I know now Jay wants me back on my bike. To explain; "4J" the first 2 letters, then "18" his birthday, and "93" was the year we got our bikes.
:thumbup:
All right everybody, enough with the sad stuff! Jay wouldn't want it that way, he would say "lets ride somewhere"! so if you want to do something for "uncle Jay" go take a ride! I am!
