“Jayâ€
He’s a true friend indeed,
This man they call Jay
His voice you should heed,
And he brightens the day.
He carries the company mail,
And greets all with a smile.
He’s not one to fail
And he is not at all wild.
He means a lot to us all,
This Tennessee boy is our friend.
When he walks down the hall,
He carries a great big smile
You can trust his with gold,
He’s the same everyday.
After it’s all been told.
Everybody loves Jay.
The family would like to thank Dr. Danny Martin, Dr. Gerald Haggstrom and the 6th floor ECM Nursing staff for all their kindness during the final six days of his life.
