Jay was a gentile, caring, and supportive mother and friend, a first generation Italian-American who lived the values of family and church. She was always willing to listen to your problems, and concerns and gave her support both verbally and financially. She offered guidance as someone who lived almost a century and who grew up during the Depression. She enjoyed playing cards, crocheting, volleyball in her younger years, she was an avid reader, always had a love of flowers and thoroughly enjoyed spending time with family and friends. She was an active member of her church, St. Symphorosa and The Super Club. She also donated her time at McNeil Hospital. She is in heaven with our father, sister, and others working hard as always, preparing a place for each of us. We greatly appreciate the "beautiful, gifted" staff at Cordia Senior Residence for the loving care Mom received every day she was there, Thank You everyone.
