Yellow Balloons

The funeral was today, and while we grieve with sorrow; it too was a site to marvel! Out on the field was a concert crowd. People dressed in his favorite yellow, picture perfect like a field of dandelions. Songs that were written just for him, the theme of today was just smile. Story after story of a hero's climb. Their wedding song resung out stood one line, "only death can tear us apart." As the Pastor spoke he recalled the family hoping for their happy ending; little did they know that being welcome home by God was better overall. His wife and children watch the first balloon go, followed by countless yellow balloons that filled the sky. Jay's gone home but rest assure by the number that came to say goodbye, he lives on. As the yellow balloons dance across the sky, you could hear his signature line "yeah baby!" Thank you Coach Jay for living such a graceful life.
