Not sure what to say?

Catherine and I met by coincidence at the Sheraton Hotel about 3 years ago; she was fun to talk to. We became friends, enjoyed dinner and breakfast together at the Sheraton. We shared many stories and laughs; I miss a good friend and a truly great person.

We'll always remember Catherine for her love, laughter, stories and dining excursions. She seemed to surround herself with family and friends who felt the same love of life attitude that she did; her "dear ones." It's been a blessing to have been one of those friends. She often said "You need to have a reason to get up in the morning, so keep busy." She truly kept busy for as long as possible. May God bless her soul. Be at peace Catherine. You were and will always be the "dear one."

Cay Jarvis was and will always be one of my favorite people. Her smile, her love, her compassion, her faith were present for all to see. Cay always made me feel special and loved and I feel blessed to have known and loved her.

Our Dear Cay

Cay was an inspiration to me in so many ways. Her warmth, her intelligence, her open-mindedness, her generosity, her devotion to family and friends, and her insistence on living life to the fullest touched me profoundly. Although I will miss her dearly, her spirit and example will continue to guide me.

I have many fond memories of my conversations with Kay at the Portsmouth Herald back in the days of having to read the obits and also talking with her at the Greek church fairs over the years. Tom Brewitt Exeter,NH

My heart goes out to all the many family and friends of Kay--she will surely be missed. I work part time at Partridge House and grew to love Kay in the short time I was there. She was full of life and full of stories. She had an amazing life and touched so many people, including me. I will miss her!

Catherine - you touched our lives in so many ways, and we are better for it. Your countless stories and hours that we spent laughing and enjoying time together meant so very much. You cared for so many in such a genuine selfless way and truly lived your life the way you wanted. Your friendship will be remembered forever.

I remember Cay at Jarvis resturant as the cashier and Ticket Agent of Greyhound Bus Lines., She was always pleasent and a joy to talk to.
