The life and legacy of our Treasure Baby…
“Jay was strong, charismatic and a total darling. He had the brightest light which shone from within him.
Nothing could dim it. Not the pain, not the tubes, nothing.”
— Auntie Lucy
“When I started to think about having a child, I got very excited about the possibility of having a little version of me. Jay turned out to be the opposite: he had a full head of hair, and was a real ladies man.”
— Dad, Andrew
