Jay Mac, You are One Handsome Devil !
Jason ~ Your strength of character and integrity are admirable. You are a role model in its truest definition. You are, and yet, are not the same person I’ve always known. Hard to believe possible but you are a better
version of yourself and you improve everyday.
I don’t know why but God has deemed me worthy of this amazing blessing of having had you in my life for the last
25 years. We have weathered some lows but have enjoyed countless and invaluable highs together. Oh, the
memories – what a ride it has been! You have been an honest, loyal and devoted husband, father, son, brother,
colleague and friend to people. You have exhibited unconditional love to me.
Jason, you simply humble me and I try to emulate your strengths, though I can’t hold a candle to that which
comes so easily to you. I love, respect and honor you. Thank you, my Jason, for the years together thus far.
I thank God for you daily.
Happy 40th Birthday Michael Jason McElroy !
I just know it in my heart of hearts, that the best is yet to come for you!xoxoxoxoxox
