I have so many wonderful memories of Gail. She was such a kind person and loved everyone around her. She always made me feel welcome in her life and gave so much wonderful advice to me when I was feeling down or struggling. Gail had passion for everything she did and always made you feel important to her. She will truly be missed.

I was a classmate of Gail's. She was always so nice to everyone and didn't play favorites. She was fun and very sweet! I enjoyed catching up with her at our last class reunion. She was as pretty as always!!! I know she is in a better place now, but that as family you will miss her greatly. May you be comforted and know you are not alone!

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not meant to be, So he put his arms around you and whispered "Come to Me". With tearful eyes we watched you, as we saw you pass away. Although we loved you deeply, we could not make you stay. Your Golden Heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

I am so glad to have shared in your life and know you are with our Creator in Heaven.May we meet again and pick up where we left off having some good laughs and making family memories. Love you always, Uncle Tom
