Vibrant, full of life, never faded, no gray,
Life took you quick, but your essence still stays.”

She ended her tribute with, “Two decades in but it hits like you just left. Your vibe, no cap, one can never forget.
“So 20 candles, Jay, we light them today,
Each flame a memory, in our hearts you’ll stay.
Sleep on, Beloved, in perfect peace.”
