Gail Kruidenier

Miss you so much, mom.

Gail and I met as classmates at Brooke Hill School, and she become a treasured friend and later a bridesmaid in my wedding. Gail was so much fun and had an adventuresome spirit. She always had her friends interests at heart and could offer good counsel.

I wrote another friend all about our overseas adventures in which Gail figured prominently. My friend,...

My daughter Whitney and Gail's daughter Anna (and Liz) were the best of friends, still are today, and there are so many memories of us watching them grow up. Funny thought- I remember Gail's love for popcorn and M&M's back in the day.
There is a special place in heaven for Gail, and I'm glad to know she will be up there looking after us all. Such a...

Gail and I were thick as thieves when we were young. One day we were playing at her house and I brought my bike ( a hand me down from my brothers, Tommy and Pokey and the brakes did not work). We were riding down the hill by her house and she yelled stop, it was as far as her parents let her ride. Well stopping without brakes was not easy and I fell over on a big rock and chipped my 2 front teeth.
My other memory is of their Christmas tree. I had never seen a silver foil tree before. I...
