Sadly here we are. Another year gone by without my beautiful friend Gail! She was always a straight shooter and told you how she saw it! I appreciated that and listened to her! After my Mom took me to be scalped at a salon, I was afraid to get my hair cut by anyone but Gail! I think she cut my hair for 6 years. I think of her fondly every day and will never stop missing her! Gone far too soon! I love her and always will! Know she is watching over all of us from up above!

Another year goes by without Gail. I still think of her all the time and miss her. I also laugh at some of the things she said and did. I still can hear her voice.

Not a day goes by that I don't think about Gail and miss her! She was one in a million. I can still hear her voice, her laugh, and her sense of humor! She should still be here with us! She left us all too soon! I will never ever forget her! Wishing her entire family well! Love, Sherri Tucker Andrews

There is still not a day that goes by that I don't think of my childhood friend Gail, and always wishing she was still with us! I miss her laugh, her sense of humor that was hers alone! She would have been so proud to see her family grow into the wonderful people she would have loved dearly. I still very much feel her presence when I go home to visit Penfield! I adored her!

I can't believe 13 years have gone by since we all lost her! I think of her all the time and so wish she had been given more time! Every single time I fold a towel I think of her and still use the Gail Zambian method of towel folding! She was one of a kind+

Dear George
The first time I met Gail was when a group of our friends and Jack and I went to Las Vegas and had lunch with you and Gail. I loved and envied her permanent lip color. You both made the perfect couple and enjoying life. Now she and my Jack are in Heaven talking about us here on earth. May all the wonderful memories you both made, keep your spirit uplifted in her absence. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Love and hugs...Cousin Irene Craig

Dear George,
I was deeply saddened to hear of your loss today from your sister, Judy. Although I only had the opportunity to meet Gail briefly years ago, I could tell she was the true love of your life by how you looked at each other. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy, and know that your whole family is in my prayers during this difficult time. Love and hugs, your cousin Wendy

To Gail's Family and Friends,
I have been gone from Penfield for many years. Yet some of the fondest memories I have are growing up on Parkwood Lane across the street from Gail. We somehow always remember the people we grow up with, and the neighborhood 'gang' becomes a constant source of good memories throughout the highs and lows of our lives. I remember Gail well - her smiles, laughs, boyfrieds, family events, etc. - and my memories are indellible photographs that keep me young and smiling. My sincere condolences to the Zambito family and to George.

It is with deepest sympathy that I am writing this today. I feel very fortunate to have been a part of Aunt Gail's life. What I remember most about her is her wonderful laugh and sense of humor. She always found a way to see the bright side of everything. Since the day I meant her, she welcomed me with open arms and even when things didn't work out with Steve and I, she was always my Aunt Gail. I feel privileged to have been able to see her one last time in July. Despite the circumstances, she was still her happy self. I am very sorry for your loss. We will miss her dearly but will never forget the happiness she brought to all of us.
Much Love,
Teresa

Dear George, Tommy, Caren, Stephanie, & family, I am so very sorry for your loss. Gail was one special lady. She always had me laughing when we worked together at Chase. It was amazing that we got any work done. I just loved her. Georgie - you are the love of her life. I still remember your wedding. Tommy & Caren, I can remember you calling Mom at work - I think there was normally sibling arguments going on - how she loves you guys! Gail loved her family & life. Her laugh was infectious. She is with God now. I know she'll be making everyone laugh up in heaven. You can be sure she is watching over all of you......she will always be your Guardian Angel.

Love, Cathy (Grammatico) Zarcone

Dear Gail's family, I am deeply deeply saddened by the loss of my dear friend, Gail. We were friends since we were in grade school together, and I grew up right around the corner from her. When I was a senior at PHS, Carole Savage, Gail and I all took a trip to Florida for Spring Break, and I will never forget that trip. The attached picture was just us clowning around my house one day when Gail suggested dressing up in the goofiest clothes we could find. Typical Gail!! When I moved to Ohio for college, I always kept in contact with her, and I always saw her whenever I came home to visit my family. I saw her raising her beautiful children, always with her sense of humor with her. She was a terrific Mom. Her laugh, her wit and her wonderful personality will be greatly missed. I am terribly sorry for your loss. In loving memory, Sherri Tucker Andrews
