Thanks for the video.
I was so fortunate to meet Gay, enjoy her smiles, and be inspired by her, at Ballet Memphis Pilates.
Prayers are with the family during this difficult time. Gay had laughter and smiles during pilates’s class and that’s the way I will remember her. Sirella
Ben. I am so sorry for the loss of your ” Best Friend”. My sympathies are for you and your family…..Jerry Roberts
We were lucky enough to meet Ben and Gay through johns bicycling and later Gay was kind enough to be our bookkeeper for our 100yr old general store. It was a tough time for us but Gay exuded optimism and her great humor as well as sound advice every time she walked in the door! Bike trips were always more fun with Gay around even with 4 teenage girls in the Beachouse between us! We lived and admired her so much! John and ginny strickland
I remember my cousin Gay, as a vibrant, loving, outgoing women, and a gracious host. We loved receiving the Christmas letters. They expressed the love of life and adventure. It was like being on the canoe trips with Gay and Ben! When we look at the night sky, perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.
I remember spending the night with Elizabeth on Halloween the year your parents went as a tube of Ben-Gay! And getting in trouble for being in their bedroom and bathroom. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during such a difficult time.
I will never forget Gay’s infectious laugh! Her love for tennis, her keen mind for numbers and her wicked skills at Bridge. A beautiful soul lost far too soon.Love to Ben, Michelle and Elizabeth.Eileen Ogletree Griffin, GA
She will be greatly missed at our bridge games. Kathy brents
