Having known Jaye all my life attending church with her, she was so very special to me and all who knew her. Always to the point and that great sence of humor. She won many hat contests at our Ladies Teas at church. We will miss her but know she is now Home with Jim. Praying for you all, Fred and Debbie Bailey
Jaye was a lovely lady, we were priviledged to know her during our
years at Westwood. She was a joy to be around. You are in our prayers.
Marshall,
We enjoyed Sunday mornings with your Mom at Aston Park. She was a very special lady, and always had a smile for us. She will be missed by everyone. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
We will aways have fond memories of your mother and dad..We had some good times in Orlando,FL with the two of them when you and Keith were in Germany. Love you
Marshall,
I want to extend my condolences for the loss of your mother. I did not know her but it would appear that you are very much like her and I am sure that she was a proud mother and grandmother.
We celebrate the homegoing of Jaye with you. She was such a delight to be around. Always smiling and youthful. We have many cherished memories with both Jaye and Jim at Westwood. Our thoughts and prayers are with their children today and in the days ahead.
Ed,Molly,Marshall and the extended
family, Our sympathies are with you on the loss of your mother. I am sure she is rejoicing in her new home.
Your family touched my family and Mrs Alexander was a ‘Lady’ always willing to talk and help anyone who knew her. Heaven is a place worthy of her presence. Every memory I have of this Lady is positive…….God Bless.
Jaye was a very good friend to my mother (Irene Hart) and you could always see them sitting together in church and sometimes going out to lunch after services. It is really hard to lose your mother but you were blessed to have her with you for so many years. Be comforted by all the happy memories and know that many friends are thinking about you at this sad time.
We just heard about Jaye’s passing and it breaks our hearts for you. She was such a precious lady and will be missed. Can’t help but think how happy she is not that she is reunited with Jim. Special, special people to us all!!
