Read MoreI am the great-niece of Mona and Jay. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has signed this guest book. It was so nice reading the memories that everyone has of them. I miss them so much but I'll never forget all they taught me and the memories I have.

We were saddened to hear of Mona's passing. Both Mona and Jay were wonderful people, kind and caring. We were lucky to have bought our dock space right next to theirs 25 years ago. We enjoyed our summer evening talks down at the dock . It will not be the same without them; they will be missed dearly.

My memories of both Mona and Jay range from being a very small child going to the "new" McDonalds restaurant in Marquette, in their Land Rover. Which to this day I want to own a Land Rover because of that ride. Jay and Mona thought it the most ridiculous way to get and eat food.
I remember "Pansy" the beagle, I can even remember what her bark sounded like. I remember late nights at the camp, saunas and Jay telling Warren and I stories about the swamp monster and lighting a cotton piece of...

My name is Mike Smith, son of the late Frank and Mary Smith, longtime dear friends on Mona and Jay. As long as I can remember Mona and Jay have been part of Marquette life in the summer. They were good people and lead an interesting life. Mona and Jay, always one entity, will be missed by all that knew them.
Sincerely,
Mike, Becky and Warren Smith
