You were a special friend and neighbor. You directed my wedding and helped Mom with my wedding and baby showers. I just found you on Legacy. I'm glad I saw you again.

I was truly saddened to get that call to hear of Ms Gail passing on. I have been thinking about how she LOVED to talk and how BIG her ❤ was. We had some good laughs together too. I've never met anyone that loved chocolate the way she did. Anything chocolate she'd eat it She had a love baking, so we would get in that kitchen and bake up a storm, especially for the holidays. Her greatest Love was her husband Bob and her 2 son's Greg and Clay. Ms. Gail will be missed!!! I Love You ❤
