To The Gail Davis Family,
We now know the name of a "Special Angel".....
When I look at Rachel I see Gail's beautiful eyes and mannerisms. As I glance toward Aaron I see her beautiful dark brown hair, at Quinn I see her intelligence and at Bailey I see her joy for life in her giggles. She may be gone but she will never be forgotten.
I have been blessed to have known Gail. She showed me how to have empathy for those less fortunate. This was a beautiful gift that she had and it was obvious to all who knew her.
We shared many laughs through the years and I shall treasure each and every memory. Miss you.
Peace be with you.....always,
Love Linda and Fred Edwards

Dear Gail,
You were always one of my favorit cousins. I remember when your parents opened up your bedroom to the adjacent room. You gave me a big bag of clothes you no longer wanted. You were 17 and I was 12, regardless, I hung onto those clothes for years hoping to grow into them. You were so rich in many ways: family, friends, and cmmunity.
You will be missed.
PS. I hate the "C" word!
Love,
Lynn Anne Miller-Pugh

Jean, With fond memories, I recall the kidding around with you and CI in the insurance office. I also remember talking with Gail at her office. I can still see her and Charles at work at the St. Louis festival. I know Charles has had his burdens(I'm no stranger to them),and now has to bear this. You and him I will remember in my prayers. Hold on to GOD'S hand tightly and may He give you all the Grace you need to endure this time. High Regards, Jim France P.S. I'm scheduled Thurs 5 P.M. thru Sun 8 A.M. to take part in conducting a driver's intervention program for those people ordered by the judge to attend, so I'll be unable to appear at Gail's calling hours or funeral which I otherwise would have attended.

We are going to miss Gail sooo much. We are sooooooo sorry for your loss and hurt for each and every one of you. She has helped us when we've needed it and has treated us like family because of Rachel and Joe. She allowed me to work for her when I REALLY needed a job and I know there are so many other people who could say the same thing. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all and that we love you!!!!

We are so sorry for your loss and so sad that we didn't have a chance to get to know Gail. We were delighted when Aaron's family came down for Kristen's graduation and to see them again when Aaron and Kristen were married this past October. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. May God bless.

Dear Charlie and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Gail's passing. I have not seen Gail in a long while. We lost touch after high school. I saw her around town maybe five or six times since school. I can't say I knew Gail well in her adult life, but what a great friend she was when we were young girls.
I met Gail in 8th grade at cheerleading tryouts. She was so beautiful with those big brown eyes. Her eyes just drew you in. She was the "it" girl in school you know. And to add to it, she was the nicest person. We became friends and soon were inseparable in school and on the weekends. She taught me how to drive (sorry Mrs. Miller about any scratches on the Ford).
As I read her life story, I see she continued on after high school to be as giving and gracious as she did in her youth. I used to tell her she was an old soul inside a young girl. Always thinking of others. Please give Mrs. Miller and Donna my condolences.
Please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
