Jamy, I'm sending you a note, but want you to know that your mother, specifically her art and her kindness toward me when I met her had a big effect on me a little over 20 years ago. A couple of days ago I was being interviewed for an artist profile and talked about her - did an online search for her when I got home because I was thinking about those days. Found she has passed.
You have my condolences on this great loss. I am certain I'm not the only ripple she set in motion, and I'm so thankful that I met her. Weems Art Festival, December 2000.

I remember Gail's lovely energy and welcoming smile (for many years) at Lana's School of Dance. Her talent was amazing, and I loved her gorgeous hand painted silks. I also remember that when she talked about Jamy, it was always with love and pride beaming out of her eyes.
