I am a Korean person Bravo Kim living in New Zealand who worked with Gayle at Dong-A Construction Dayton branch about 30 years ago. While surfing the Internet today, I came across the news of Gayle's passing. I was thinking that if I ever travel to the United States again, I would definitely visit her first... It's really sad now. It's very disappointing. Gayle was a pretty, good and kind woman. She has to or could live for 20 to 30 years longer... I just hope now that she has gone to the good heaven.
