I will never ever forget all the times we spent in their house swimming in the pool with Grandma Mary. The memories of all the Christmas parties will forever be locked in my memory bank, playing pool, lots of yelling over white elephant swaps. Gay was always there and always took an interest in what we were doing with our lives. She will never be forgotten.
