Dear Rosenke Family,
I’m at a loss for words, so very sad for Jay’s death… Jay was a great friend, he and I went to Park High School together, and were in many art classes together. He was such a giving soul and tried every day to make his friends feel like he cared. He touched many lives through all he did in his short life, and will be in our memories forever…
