Dear Elliott Family,
My family and I were so saddened to learn of the passing of your mother and grandmother Jay, "she was bigger than life". She shared her endless energy, enthusiasm and wisdom with so many of us. Jay convinced me when I was in Florida in March to come visit her for an overnight and we could go to 2 swim classes back to back! I agreed thinking how can I do one class never mind two? But you know Jay, she could walk and talk you effortlessly through anything.
Not only did Jay teach two swim classes that day, she drove us to both pool facilities, drove to get lunch, had to go shopping at a new store in town , back home and then off to dinner all in one day! But that was Jay. Nothing could stop her when she was on a mission We enjoyed exercising, eating and a great conversation and visit. This was her daily life and she enjoyed every minute of it. She never complained about anything. Her take charge personality was embedded in her genes. Heaven is for eternal rest but knowing Jay, she has already signed up for organizing some kind of class!
We have known Jay since her work days at Rome Insurance in Fitchburg, MA. working with my mom and myself. Jay lived a wonderful life and we all have wonderful memories of her that we all will cherish forever.
Much love and peace at this time.
Diane and Steve Castelli, Fitchburg, MA.
