Today, I thought about Sharon Jay. I scrolled through my phone and called her-it went straight to voice mail. I googled her name and came across this site. I wish I would have called sooner.

Ms. Sharon Jay was a fantastic wise, Godly woman, who was put into my life for a distinct purpose. I am confident she is with our Savior now. Thank you Father for sending Ms. Jay into our lives. Your timing is perfect.
