Our deepest sympathy, thoughts and prayers go out to the Lemmon Family.
So sorry. Thinking of you all at this time. God give you peace and strength. Robert and Donna Smith
I worked with Jay for several years at Goodman. Although we worked hundreds of mile apart, Jay was always a person to rely on. He held a tough job and did it well. I know he held his family close to his heart as he would often tell me stories about his girls. I wish I didnt have to write this. Peace and healing to his wife, daughters, parents, n-laws, and the rest of his family and friends.
Prayers for you and your family as you face the days ahead! Thinking of you!
