To Wayne and family, I am so sad to hear of Gail's passing. I was her transplant coordinator for a few years, and I always loved talking to her. She was truly a wonderful person and you have my deepest sympathy.

Wayne, Brian, Christina, and David: My deepest and most profound sympathies to you and your family on the passing of your precious Gail, my dear and courageous friend. My heart was saddened today as I paid my last respects to one of the most courageous people I've ever known. The battle has ended, the race has been run, her journey in this life is over. May the courage, discipline, compassion, love and strength of character that Gail possessed be yours as you face the days ahead. Peace and rest is hers at last. "Adio, my friend - Go with God." May your memory forever be eternal in the hearts and minds of all who knew and loved her. Until we meet again.

Christina, - The Kaley family will always remember the very loooong summers at the softball games. Your mom was always there to cheer you on. It was wonderful for me to reconnect with a high school friend, and I will always admire her strength. Our love to you, Brian and David and your families. You are in our thoughts.

Gail cared for our oldest son Landon a few years ago when I returned to work after my maternity leave. She was always so caring and thoughtful. Gail was only able to watch him for a few months, but she continued to keep in touch with us and visit when she was able to.
Gail always spoke very highly of her family and absolutely adored and raved about her grandchildren. We are sorry we only knew her for a few short years... My husband and I are thinking of each of you at this time, and hope you will find comfort knowing that she is in a better place now.
