John,
I was so saddened yesterday to learn of the loss of your dear Gail. It is so difficult to say good bye to those we are close to and love. For a girl from the Northeast, I found Gail's warmth and hospitable and caring ways so admirable..........she was so charming!
May God give you strength at this difficult time and keep you in his care..........and enable you to find peace and comfort.
"To those we love in memory, our hearts give immortality."
With deepest sympathy, Maureen Couture
