In Loving Memory
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you, the family of Gail. Gail was the kindest, strongest and most thoughtful woman we knew. Her inner spirituality and compassion showed through with her every spoken word and action. We will miss her dearly. Your family has meant a lot to us through the years, and you've always had a strong, quiet influence on us and our children. Gail was always such a positive role model to all of us around her. We will miss that charming smile and that warm hello. We are out of town and will unfortunately miss the vigil and the funeral, but our prayers will be with you during this difficult time.
