thank you ♥

a lovely tribute. thankyou for sharing with the community. my heart goes out to you all. ♥

Thank you, for sharing this with us all.
He had such a beautiful laugh and an amazing smile.
I wish I had gotten to know him.

Thank you so much for sharing. I’m really glad you came out to be with us, and took the time to write this.
Please take care of yourself. You have people who care about you here, too.

thank you for that <3

I remember in the week he was here he was talking about how he wanted to live for your brother. Seeing those late photos of him in the hospital, with his beard... and hearing his voice unlike how we've heard it before... it's a deeply weighted feeling, but I'm so proud of him for getting that far. I wish with all my heart he could have had much longer, but I'm so glad he got to be with you, living the rest of his days as his true authentic self. And I'm so glad you hosted Tuo too. Thank you, that's truly incredible.

Thank you so much for sharing these, they're as beautiful and precious as Jay is.

I'm wholeheartedly sorry for your loss. I hope you know we have your back. And I hope you know that you don't have to go through this alone.
We'll keep going for Jay, and for C, too.

I never got to meet him, not even here in the community.. and I haven't been around lately so I'm late to hear about what happened, but as someone who's been fighting everyday for the life of someone very important to me, I empathise, and just want to say how so incredibly strong both you and Tuo are. This world needs more people like you. And Jay was truly lucky to have had you two in his life. I know it's hard, but stay strong and take care of yourself. He is proud of you both from up there.

Echoing everyone else.. thank you. Thank you for sharing, for being with him, for all your love and loyalty.

I think we dont met as friends or so but I am really sure I saw him around from time to time.

thas is so sad; to see fine young people gone. it is not fair.

thank you for sharing this and thank you to everyone who came to TEF to "celebrate"!
It was so amazing to see so much interest and sympathy.

Thank you so much for sharing these feelings, I wasn't close to Jay, I am not even good with words, but I am happy to know he had his loved ones close by.

Just wanted to log on to say thank you to everyone for all your kind words and thoughts. I apologize I'm slow at getting back to people (on here and on Discord). Sometimes it takes me days to open up a computer... even though now I have seven computers all the sudden.
I wanted to say thanks especially to Hraeth, Aivilo, Vee, and Jin for being particularly supportive (for me and for Tuo), and for Cal for sharing about your time with Jay in Germany. He talked about that trip a lot. He really loved being out there and visiting you—and you two as well, Jin and Vee.

I also found this while Tuo was visiting and we were looking through things. This was one of the last birthday cards C. made for Jay, and Jay always said it was his favorite card ever. (C. used to make just the best birthday cards.) I know it's dated (i.e. C. using a feminine caricature and pronouns for Jay), but Jay hadn't begun exploring his gender identity by the time C. made it, and Jay just recently brought it up in a discussion with me before he went to the hospital and said he still loved it and wished he knew where it was. (btw, "Neener" is a silly nickname the three of us called each other. ..Yes, we were all Neener.)

Just thought I'd share 'cause Jay loved it so much and C.'s card was spot-on. I might be sharing other things as I discover them. And I'd love to hear any stories you guys felt like sharing about Jay. Or just anything you have to say about him really.

I also wanted to let you guys know you may see Jay's pictograms in the Forest for just a brief moment while I cycle through them to confirm passwords, check sets, etc. Out of respect for Jay and his characters, I would like to retire all his gen. one pictograms (e.g. Wastings, Fincayra/Esll, Sweeney/Eli, Stelmaria, Evelyn/Liam, etc.)
But I wanted to ask you guys how you felt about his newer pictograms, which weren't being used. He collected a handful from each generation and always put a great deal of care into selecting the ones he liked most. Would it be helpful or healing in any way for those of you who were good friends to inherit a pictogram he handpicked? Let me know your thoughts on that and if you want me to post links to the pictos to even just look at them—or contact me via Discord (Possessed#5396) in private, if you'd rather.

Again, thank you for all your support and I apologize for not getting back to people sooner, short responses, etc. I really do appreciate you all a lot.

He truly was a remarkable person. I will never forget the little interactions we shared here. Thank you for sharing this. You have my deepest condolences.

You and Tuo are so incredibly strong. Thank you both for loving him so much.

Hope you are well <3
Miss you both
