Not sure what to say?

Aunt Gail,

You were stunning — not just in the way the world could see,
but in the quiet glow of your spirit.
Your hands carried gentleness,
your words carried warmth,
and somehow your softness held more strength
than steel ever could.

You moved through life with a calm tone
that could steady storms.
You meant what you said and you stood firm in it —
a woman who didn’t need to raise her voice
to make her presence known.

She was precious with a beautiful heart and soul. She was loved by everyone. I loved and thought the world of her. She is in a beautiful place now.

I will always remember how sweet she was. I enjoyed talking and laughing with her and will remember her that way. Ronnie and I called her Aunt Gail because she was like an Aunt to us.

I never knew my aunt Gail without that beautiful smile. She always welcomed and loved us all. She was a very strong and compassionate person. I will cherish the memories I have of her. Rest in peace Aunt Gail. Gone but never forgotten.

I am very sorry for ur mother ,sister and aunt Gail prayer . I miss her .

Dear classmate, the memories of playing jacks, jump rope, hop scotch and doing the drag warm my heart. Thank you for the grand times we shared in school. Prayers for your family during this time of mourning.
