Jay you will be miss 😒

Dear Jay ❀️

You will Be Missed!

Your comments to my stories always made me smile 😊.

I know your dear friend Joe will miss you too. I will still interview him for part two and you can read it in heaven.

I love your Cartoon drawing that brought your Vocal stories to life.

No one could communicate like you. Your style of carrying a message was one of a kind and that just who you are.

I know all your fans in Vocal including me will truly miss your drawing and stories.

I thank Kristen Balyeat for informing us, your vocal family of your passing and that you pass peacefully.

Love yours truly,

Mariann Carroll

The last story Jay Kanton created on Vocal πŸ’•πŸŒΉ is the story embedded ⬆️ above.

Rest in Peace and may your love ones receive comfort.

Friendship

    This is the perfect tribute, Mariann. Thank you for sending the link. Jay may never have imagined Vocal would be united in remembering him, but he was such a special man, and a friend to so many. Rest in Peace, Jay.

    Lovely tribute. I just read his last writing on Vocal. It was published quite recently. So sad to hear about his passing.
