We share in the pain you are going through and ask God to carry you through the days ahead and to feel His peace that surpasses all understanding.

Dear Jones Family,
What wonderful tributes I've just read about Jay Jones who is the brother to a precious friend, Legrand Spradly that I've been privileged to know for the past ten years through Circle of Friends. I am not surprised to learn what a nice man he just had to be after knowing Legrand's family and meeting her lovely mother, Katherine. I am so truly sorry for your loss.
May God's love surround you all at this difficult time. Please know we will keep your loving family close in prayer.

Dear Sally & family:
We were shocked to hear of Jay's death. He was always a great help in the dealings with the Johnston Family and Charles Machemehl. He always greeted me with a smile and had a wise remark. Our prayers are with you and the family in this time of grief. Lyle & Gertie Carbaugh

Sally,

Jay was our attorney and our friend and always will be in our hearts. We, too, grieve for him and your family, whom we have always admired. We know you are an overcomer and we lift you up in prayer.

We are deeply sadden by Jay's sudden death. He was a devoted friend, a great American, and a beloved family member. Jay was loved and respected by everyone.

Dear Sally, Buddy and I are saddened to hear of your loss. We know Jay was a wonderful husband, father, son, and friend to many. He was truly a servant, by reading the article. We are sorry we can't be there today. May the Lord bless you and your family with peace during this difficult time. Fondly, Pat Johnson

We cannot begin to phathom your loss, because we feel it in a way that cannot be explained. Our best tribute to Jay was through our tears last night, we found ourselves smiling and then lauging when we were remembering our times with you and Jay. What wonderful memories. Our TCU games, road trips & bowl games can never be the same. Jay was the entertainment, as well as the one who got to know the "enemies" and make them friends. The OU game in Norman was a great example of how Jay would always win over a crowd and they would end up loving him and and wanting him to stay around and be a part of their party. He was the best, period. We have been blessed to have had Jay as a part of our lives.

Sally, you know how we feel about you and your family. We love the time we got to spend with you and Jay and just like everyone who knows Jay, we were not ready to let him go.

Your friendship means everything to us.

Dear Jones Family,

We were so saddened by the news of the loss of your father and husband. I am certain that despite the consolation of your family and friends, your loss is deeper than we can know. He will be missed by many.

You will be in our thoughts and prayers,

Sarah (Bullock) and Matt McIntyre

My first thoughts this morning were based on my lack of knowledge that Jay had passed away. Our early morning banter at Hohlt park always got me walking faster and farther , as if to prove some competitive goal. As I passed Jay,Sally, and Larry Tegeler and his wife, I Was mostly reminded thatI was going the wrong way.

We met Jay through The Methodist church where I soon learned that He was not only a noted leader , but THE BEST PANCAKE FLIPPER EVER TO GRACE AN APRON .Jay was also a compassionate and very knowledgable listener when the time came to practice his profession.

This is hard for me to take as Jay was close in age , had a lovely wife and family and his mother was so proud to have him as her son.

Jay was enjoying life after years of hard work, I have to believe that GOD has a mision for him that needed to be done now,and had to have someome to take charge.

To Sally , I honsetly would not know what to do with out my wife Cindy. To Jared AND Jill , I lost both of my parents in the last year. This will be a hard time for quite a while,but you need to gather around your mother and grandmother , for they need you now more than ever. To Kathyrine,You have lost a son long before you should have, for you I am truly sorry. Please don't take this as a cliche, Cindy, my sons and I are at your service , whatever you need,we would be honored to serve you and your family.

By 7:15 this morning I knew something was not right. By the time I learned the news I was dumbstuck and my response was to go out and walk five more miles for Jay.

WITH GREAT LOVE AND RESPECT,

DOYCE, CINDY COLE & DAVID WELLS

Jay was a wonderful man to work for. He took a chance on Felix and I and we will never forget his help and the advise he offered in our lives. He was a man to model any life after, he always told us in the office "the world would be a better place if more people were like me" he could never understand how true that is. He will be missed in many lives, our heart goes out to all of the family and friends of his life.

Dearest Sally,Jared,Jill, and family,
My deepest sympathy to you. I am so sorry. My heart aches for you. May all the fond memories you have ---live in your heart forever. May those memories help comfort you in some way in the dark days ahead. For those whom you love will always live in your heart. Please know that I hold you in my heart, thoughts and prayers. "For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our God even unto death." Psalm 48:14.

Sally and family
I am so sad and hurt for each of you. Please feel the love being sent to you and all the prayers being offered for your peace and understanding. I lost my father very suddenly when he was 46 and I can relate to how your life has changed in an instant. Only God can provide you with the strength you will need to go on. Let your friends and family support you and lean on all of us who care for you.
I have such good memories of laughs and good times shared with Jay over many years. My favorite story is about the time we were camping at Enchanted Rock and he was ready to sell his tent and tell everyone he had never slept a night in it...because he hadn't slept at all!
I pray that God will hold you in his arms during the days and nights ahead.
Love Donna

Jones Family:

I'm so sorry to learn of Jay's passing. We grew up in the same neighborhood - I have been recalling the childhood memories - he will be deeply missed. May the love of friends and family be a source of comfort to you.

Sally, Jill, and Jared,
You are in our thoughts and prayers. Jay was wonderful to know. He was honest, had a great sense of humor and was always friendly. We will miss him tremendously.

Dear Sally, Jill, and Jared

Written words cannot express my deepest sympathy for your loss, but please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Jay has left a place in the community that will be difficult, if not impossible to fill, but I knew him best as a loving, witty father to one of my dear friends. Jill, I cannot fathom the shock of your loss, and my prayers go out to you, Charlie, and Merideth...along with all of your family and Jay's multitude of friends. Our condolences to you all and our hearts go out to dear Sally during this difficult time.

With deepest sympathy,

Jay was a man who appreciated loyalty and practiced loyalty in his everyday affairs. As a former Washington County Attorney and as a lawyer, Jay was known for his fairness and compassion. He will be missed in our community.
