Some months ago, upon hearing of your father’s death, I sent a letter to Gay, to try and reconnect, after many years. I didn’t hear back, and was beginning to wonder if she was okay… and then found this obituary online. I am truly sorry and saddened that your amazing mother is no longer with us, though I am sure her spirit lives on, in each one of you. I know that I will carry many fun and happy memories of Gay, forever. Our friendship started in Sapporo, where we were both young mothers and our husbands worked together at the U.S. Consulate. Then, we were neighbors in Falls Church, VA, where our daughter Andra went to Shrevewood Elementary School. We reconnected again in Tokyo in the ‘90’s, and every time we returned to the U.S., having a gab fest with Gay was one of the highlights! I saw each of you as babies, and witnessed her devotion to each of you and her joy in being your mother. Gay was a true friend and I will miss her always. Adrienne (& Don) Westmore, Germantown, NY
