To Gail's family
I'm very sorry for your loss. I worked with Gail at Sears for many years. I remember when she left, but I always looked forward to seeing her walk through the Sears doors to visit her co-workers. She always had a picture of the grandchildren to share with me. I will remember her forever!!

To Gail's family - I remember her eyes, so dark brown and her beautiful smile. Her laugh came quickly. I enjoyed working with her so many years ago, now. I thought of her often after hearing she was sick. I'm sad for all of you, because she was really a wonderful woman.
