My Condolences to the family much prayers lifted π Rest easy Flay Lee
My prayers go out to the family. It was such a blessing to know Mr. Flay. He taught me so much when I was his intern. He prepared me for my first job in the field. He treated me like family. I'm forever grateful for the experience he allowed me to have. He believed in me and even showed up to support me when I got my master's degree. He was such a kind soul. He will be missed.
Flay was the first person I met at South Carolina State in the fall of 1971. From that first day as brand new students, we remained lifelong friends. I will always cherish his calls and text messages at the beginning or end of almost every week over the years wishing me a good weekend or a good week. Farewell, my brother, and wear your heavenly wings well. "Jaco"
As I've always told you , you've been a major inspiration within my life. I'm forever grateful and thankful for the relationship we've had. I'm glad you thought of me, before you made your way to your heavenly home. I will always love you. Thank you for your continuous love π Rest On
