I have so many memories of the fun times we had over the 40 years of friendship. I will miss her tremendously. She remains in my heart as she will with others for many years ahead.

Jay was a St Joseph's Catholic Church parishioner who was a great friend. She and her husband Marvin were regulars at our post Saturday night Mass dinners at restaurants around town. She cared deeply about others and regularly displayed Christian values. She will be greatly missed.
