One of my mom’s dearest friends. I’ve known Mrs. Gay for a long time. She was always laughing and had a funny story to tell.
It’s still hard to wrap my head around, but she’s with her Savior and pain free.
Benny and family,
Mine and Janie’s prayers are with you and the family. God has called another earthly angel home. She touched so many lives and was a blessing to everyone. God holds her in His arms, we hold her in our hearts.
Love and prayers,
Janie and Mike
Dear Gay’s family, Gay was such a warm, loving person…..my children were blessed to have your mom twice as their 2nd and 5th grade teacher. Your mom had a great sense of humor and she will be missed. Sending loving thoughts and prayers.
