My Aunt Jay was a wonderful woman. She was fortunate, in that she had a long and very happy life. Her marriage was a great example of what marriage should be. She and her husband Bob ( my favorite Uncle ) raised two Daughters ( Janice and Jean ) and two Sons ( Tommy and Larry ), all of whom she and Bob could be proud. I will never forget her and she will be sorely missed by me and my family.
