As a teenager in Winnie, I got to know Gay at the post office, then I saw her many times at the Arboretum when I'd go to visit my mom. Was so caring and loving. We visiited a time or two there and when I'd walk in she'd give me a wave and a smile if we couln't visit. I was missing her the months before August when Mom passed away. May she rest in peace.

Miss Gay was such a great lady. I was her neighbor and I often saw her at the Arboretum, visiting and taking care of others even when she was so sick. I thought of her as an angel on earth. She will be missed by so many.

Praying for peace for her family.
