I give warm condolences to the Jay D. Asbury Family during this very difficult time. Jay was my dear cousin and we were very close doing our formative years. We played basketball at many of the community centers and outdoor courts around Raleigh. We did some travel together also. We had many one on one conversations about life situations that brought us close in spirit. He's gone from our sight our touch;but not our memories nor our hearts. Rest in peace in God's loving arms until we see you again.
