Gay and I met at Penn State and discovered we were both Mt Lebanon grads --her 62 and me 64.  Gay was a tremendous help my freshman year and it is great to see she had the pleasure of having and raising children.  Unfortunately we separated with my transfer to U of I,  so Gay if you can read this sorry to see cancer struck and so glad I knew you.  Gary

We all knew her as a slim classmate with a droll and impish sense of humor who was kind and generous to all.It was such an honor to remain steadfast friends throughout high school, college and young adulthood until she died in her early 40s.She fiercely loved her husband and three daughters.  We learned about courage and faith as we witnessed her battle her cancer for over ten years. She will live in our hearts forever.

Gay was a good friend of mine.  She was very witty.  Her parents were very protective and refused to let her wear bermuda shorts.  Gay would put her shorts on under her regular slacks and "Strip down" as soon as she got into my car.  She was a very good wife and mother to 3 girls.  She was a true Christian.  I have no doubt that she is with God and I hope to see her again too.Miss you Grace.Andi Gamble Smith
