May his memory remain forever in your hearts….one of my favorite quotes ” Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy”. Love, Barbara

We are very sorry to hear of Jay’s passing. We were in Maine on a family vacation and just happpened to be talking about Heathcliff, Tippey, Romulos, Remus and Onkeo. We had not thought of those dogs in years…The very next day when we learned of Jay’s passing; the timing was so strange. We have many happy memories of our years together on Lyman Road. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. Love, The Carolan Family
