JENSEN, JAY ROBERT

Deceased

Name: Jay Robert Jensen

                Nov 13, 2004

                You list a "Jay Robert Jensen".
                My father's correct name was: "Jay Roger Jensen".
                I have NO idea where you came up with "Robert"
                but I thought I should point out that it was
                "Roger", not "Robert." The rest of the info is
                correct.

                Thanks for getting this changed!
