Rev. Gay,
Of all the people in my life,from beginning to the end, you've been a special blessing to me. I was listening when you thought I wasn't.
When I ask you to do many things for Mars Hill, you were there, No Questions. You have stood by me when I needed someone to talk with.
You were my inspiration and you were always the one who cared.
You will be sadly missed by those at Mars Hill and the Community At Large.
I know you are in the hand of God ,No more...

I will miss Rev. Gay greatly; especially during the conference time when she and I would ride together and eat together. I love her so much and find it still hard to believe I won't be able to hear her voice again. One thing I do know, she is definitely in the arms of the Lord! Try to be strong family (and I know it's hard) because you know she doesn't want us crying for her but celebrating the wonderful life she had and memories she left us. May God bless you all!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, ""I welcome...

COME WITH ME TO MEET MY FRIEND
LET'S TALK WITH JESUS
He keeps me company day and night
Quietly whispers my wrong to right
'Oft times I wonder how it would be If while I talk with Him
His precious face I could see
No one could listen the way He will
His heart full of love forever still
I know you will love Him as much as I
His arms open wide to invite you inside
He will lead the way a path so clear
Let's talk to Jesus...
