Gayle was such a friendly person. Even though Patty did my hair, we were always discussing world affairs and other things. She will be greatly missed. My condolences to all the family.

Family,
Gaye did my mother and grandmothers' hair for 40 years and was a good friend. About 6 months ago I spent over a hour on the phone with her about their friendship and she told me about her children. I wanted to express my sympathy for your loss. I know my mother would also do so if she were well. I am the daughter of Shirley Walters. I will pray that the pain of your loss will not linger too long.
