Hey Linda I’m so sorry for your families loss😣 I just read about your step son’s passing. God Bless him for his services 🇺🇸🇺🇸 RIP
Jay and I were friends since childhood. I have many fond memories from back then, and a few pictures. We used to call him Jaybird because “Rockin’ Robin” came out and said how all the Jaybirds sing! I’m not sure he liked it, but eventually warmed up to it! Jaybird, you’ll be missed by many. May your soul rest in peace.
The Abercrombies have been a part of my life since grade school.. They always treated me with kindness and love. I am so very sorry for your loss of Jay. He was a kind and gentle soul. I’m sure the angels in heaven are welcoming him with open arms. With Hugs and Much Love.
