Jay and Jenn - we are so sorry for your loss. At the same time, it is so rare to see such a close bond between father and son, and we are so glad that you all got to spend years of happy living together while he was vibrant and full of life. The whole Yilmaz family was truly blessed and will always have the wonderful memories you made together.

Much love, Jared & Jen
