Dear Lasser Family,
I am so sorry that Gail is no longer physically present with you. Her great personality and zest for life leave a wonderful legacy. She was a very upbeat co-worker at Time Life and was a mentor to so many! Thanks Gail for all of the great memories, fabulous October Fest parties and having a knack for bringing people together.
Love Mary Beth Smith

Gail was always bringing people together for good time get togethers. She made everyone welcome and made great effort to include everyone. She put the interests of others before herself, and took care of people in need. We will truly miss this great lady. I expect that right now she is organizing a house party in Heaven!
