Mr. Mays was a "class act". I have never known him to have ever had a bad word to say about anybody or anything. I admired the way he was always so calm. He was always willing to help no matter how exhausted he probably was. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have known him. Love and sympathy to all. With our love, Patrick and Kathy

Memories of Samuel Jerry Mays are endless. Jerry taught me in Sunday School and were such active members of the church wherever they lived. It was an awesome opportunity for me to be able to teach their son, Steve, when he was such an energetic and intelligent young boy. While life has separated us through different places we live, the distance does not effect our memories and love for this dear family. Judy, Steve, Zach and families, we send you our love and pray God's richest blessings on you while you heal and continue living in this life knowing that you have not lost Jerry....when you loose something you don't know where it is....but you know where Jerry is and we all can be reunited again. Love and sympathy to all. With all our love, Barry, Bill and Louise Kughn- Birmingham, AL
