It was a pleasure to work with Gail in her home over the past few months. She was always a joy to be with and the pride and love for her family was evident even on her tough days. Thank you for allowing me to share a small piece of her life and spirit.
God Bless

Bob and Family,
I am truly sorry to hear of Gail's passing and the pain you've all suffered throughout the past few months. I know that Gail was an excellent wife, mother, grandmother and especially a sister to Margie! You were all very courageous and supportive, and a definite example to all, of a loving family. I would like to share a poem that I came across many years ago and found it to be very powerful! It is as follows:
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
God Bless you all.
