    Dear Jay, I know you don't know me. But I just want to leave this here for you and Chris. My husband of 35 years passed away today. But I know you and Chris will help me get through it. Your videos helped me get through needing and recovering from a recent hip replacement surgery. Y'all keep up the great videos. I know one day both of you will be able to quit your day jobs and do this exclusively. I love both of you and couldn't have been happier when I found out the two of you were getting married. Your fan Janet.

      I am so incredibly sorry for your loss, my friend. My deepest sympathies. You are an incredibly awesome person and thank you so much for living, vicariously and being here. It means so much to me. Your husband will always be with you and your heart, and your soul, and all around you forever I pay tribute to him and will be thinking and praying for you! You’re awesome my friend. Thanks for making my day.

    Love Brooksville. Next time you make a trip towards Mount Dora, make a contact. We are next door in Eustis. We can show you some old, interesting houses. Most people just pass Eustis by and just go to Mount Dora. I used to work for the Eustis Chamber of Commerce and know some interesting places.

    Love that this episode came through for you. Brooksville is a cool town. I lived there for 2 months with my sister and family in the summer of 1971 after my parents moved from Temple Terrace after I graduated from King and then in August I started a new adventure as a freshman at FSU. Met my husband of almost 50 years there in the line to get our ID pictures made.
