I first met Gail when I went to work for Alcoa. We became great friends and travelling buddies. Many trips to Hawaii together and lots of memories of a wonderful friend.

Gail and I were friends from high school and then enjoyed being sorority sisters in Kappa Delta. She was always a kind and caring member and one you could count on when you needed help.
