Memories and Condolences
for Jay Weinberger

Not sure what to say?





September 25, 2009

I only knew Jay from the many times I stopped by to browse the store.The store was always filled with furniture,but more than that it was filled with family.What could be more wonderful than to work side by side with those you love? I sometimes got the feeling that it was home away from home for Jay and his family (as well as employees).We will miss his smile and his "yes you can" but Augusta was lucky to have him as part of our community.My thoughts and prayers are with his family.......Gloria Hillman
