I Did Not Know Mr. Mullen But I Know How Hard It Can Be To Lose A Loved One In Death So I Wanted To Say I Am Very Sorry For Your Loss. The Scripture That Has Given Me Comfort At Times Like This Is The One Found At Revelation 21:4 That Says, “And He Will Wipe Out Every Tear From Their Eyes, And Death Will Be No More, Neither Will Mourning Nor Outcry Nor Pain Be Anymore. The Former Things Have Passed Away.” So God Has Promised That In The Very Near Future We Will Never Have To Experience The Pain Associated With Death Anymore. I Pray That This Gives The Family Some Comfort During This Difficult Time.

We Are So Sorry For Your Loss. We Enjoyed So Many Good Times With Jay And Were Really Shocked And Saddened By His Passing. I Literally Just Found Out Just Minutes Ago.
In Addition To Us, Jay Was Incredibly Well Liked By Eileen’S Entire Family. How Could They Not. He Spent Many A Day With Her Parents, Brothers, Sister And Sister In Law And Was Truly Loved By All.
His Laugh And Stories Will Be Remembered And The World Really Will Be A Littler Darker Without Him.
Chris, Its Been A Long Time Since I Saw You But Jay Always Talked About You And Was Very Proud Of His Little Brother.
Please Let Us Know Of Any Arrangements In The Chicago Area.
