I am so sad to hear of the passing of Gail Anne. She and I grew up together in Heldervale. We spent many hours on the telephone rembering all of the fun things we did as kids. She was a great friend to me, and I miss her being a phone call away. Dick, Bonnie and Barbara I send my condolence to you and much love,

I worked with Gail years ago in the Media Center in the Library. We had so much fun. My kids always loved coming in to visit with her, too. This past November, my youngest died in a car accident and Gail called me numerous times to talk with me. She was a great comfort and always was able to make me smile! We were trying to plan to get together this summer - a bunch of old friends from the Library Media Center! I'm sorry that it didn't happen. Gail also sent us a wonderful dinner from a local market, about 2 months after my daughter died, which was perfect timing. She had a heart of gold and I will miss talking with her. My condolences to your entire family.

Being so far away in India and unable to return, I am grateful to read the posted remembrances about my sister. She indeed had those qualities and will be missed. Bless her soul.
Thank you very much.

I worked with Gail for many years at the library. Gail had a wonderful sense of humor, could tell funny stories with impeccable timing, and had a very big heart. My Dad passed in April of this year, and, sick as she was, Gail made a very generous contribution to a local dog rescue in Dad's memory. Gail loved dogs and spoke often of her German shepherd, Tatsie. "Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." Anatole France. Gail, you're with Tatsie now; I'm sure she was waiting for you when you crossed over, tail wagging. God bless you. Lisa B.

Gail will be missed dearly by us. She was a wonderful neighbor and friend. We will miss coming over to visit or help you when you were in need. I don't think there will be anyone that can replace you. Emily and Brittany will truly miss you and all the stories that you told them. Thank you for all the wonderful memories that you gave us.

Love and will miss you!!
