Dear Bernadette: I have just recently heard of JJ's death, and have been so saddened by it. A dear friend and colleague, I will always cherish our time in medical school together and the times we had with you two as you transitioned from a couple to being married. My thoughts, prayers and love to you and your family.

Dear  Bernadette,

  I was saddened to learn of Jeremy's passing.  We were medical school classmates at Cornell, and were on the same anatomy team our first year, and worked together in a physical diagnosis group.  Right from the start Jeremy stood out as an extremely bright and perceptive student.
  Our paths crossed again when he took the job at Vanderbilt.  I had done my orthopedic training at Vanderbilt, and when we met at an Orthopedic Academy meeting, I shared my thoughts about Vanderbilt and Nashville.  Although we had very little contact after that, I did follow his very successful career.
  I will miss seeing Jeremy at our next Cornell reunion.  I'm sure he will be fondly remembered.

Jeremy was a treasured mentor to me as a resident and faculty member @ VUMC radiology-his intellect and creativity will be greatly missed! Art Fleischer

Condolences to the Kaye Family.  As his Med Receptionist for many years, I most enjoyed his warmth, and always friendly, smile each morning. Chris Traylor

Dear Bernadette,

Grieved to hear of Jeremy' passing!  We shared many years together as a Radiology Faculty members, Department Chairs, and more recently Professor Emeriti at Vanderbilt University!  As an internationally known musculoskeletal radiologist Dr Kaye may have been without peer.  As a kind and thoughtful friend and gentleman I am very grateful our paths crossed over two time periods spanning 20 + years.  May divine presence comfort you and your family today!

Dear Bernadette and Family,
I had the honor and privilege to work alongside Dr. Kaye for almost ten years not only as his assistant in Radiology, but as well the International Skeletal Society. He was an honorable and authentic person, colleague, husband, father and best of all, boss. I looked forward to serving on his team as each of us set out to make Vanderbilt a desired place for patients and staff alike. The legacy he leaves behind is undoubtedly unsurpassed. May the memories of his life and all he did for others live through each member of the Kaye family in honor of Dr. Kaye. Your loss is our loss. Our hearts and sadness walk with you. May you find peace in our Lord and Savior. 
~Debra

Dear Bernadette and Kaye Family,

I am so sorry for your loss.  I remember Jeremy fondly.  I enjoyed our time together.  We would have lunch each month while he was Chairman.  We was always gracious, insightful, and a pleasure to talk with.  I know how much he loved his wife and children as we would speak about family frequently and he looked so forward to the cruises!  He was a fine man and will be missed by many.

Fondly,

Jeff Landman
