Hi Don, James and Ross,
It has been a year since the loss of my friend; beautiful, loving Gail. I was so lucky to have had Gail in my life and to have so many cherished memories of fun and laughter that we shared together. life and relationships are so precious...my relationship with Gail was just that...precious and cherished. I learned so much about life and love and really living watching Gail's heroic battle with lung cancer. She was truly an inspiration. She so generously opened her heart and her home to all of her friends who loved her so very much.
Thank you Don, Ross and James for sharing your Mom/wife with me even when she had so little time left on this earth. I am truly grateful for that.
I hope that she will be waiting to greet my Dad in heaven. That thought is a comfort to me during this sad time.
I love you all.
Janice

My sincere condolences to all of Gail’s family. She had a smile and laugh that were contagious. Always quick to share a funny story even if she was the subject of it’s content.
I knew her when we were teenagers. A group of us would always hang out at the Neponset pool either playing cards or working on our tans. Gail had us all beat by the time we walked there from “Mrs P’s” house.
Hold on to the good memories to keep her spirit alive. God bless you and your family. May she rest in Peace...Gary

"It well may be that we will never meet again in this lifetime, so let me say before we part so much of me is made of what I learned from you, you'll be with me like a handprint on my heart." I love you Gail.
