Not sure what to say?

Theo and Tommy Lou were the best of friends with my father and mother Hobson and Edith Guttery in Carbon Hill. I faintly remember Gail but remember Tommy Lou and Theo well. Theo lived in Forestdale and would shop in the Bruno store where I worked. He always ordered the same thing: 1 -T-bone steak. Tommy Lou had already departed.
Tommy Lou and perhaps Gail were at my father and mother's house the Sunday I was born... June 1, 1941. Very nice people.

I've seen your love demonstrated in your precious stories and visits in the last number of years. Remember the hymm, "It is well with my soul", I'm certain her Savior has welcomed her to the beautiful Kingdom of God.

I am so sorry for the loss of you kids Mother I know

Think Gail lived a life worth emulating. She indeed was an encourager. Know you have many good memories of her in your family.

My family would like to send our thoughts and prayers go out to each of you for your loss. Many times growing up this great lady fed me & looked after me when I was over there hanging out with my best friend Tommy. She was a very kind person. This world has lost a great person but Heaven has just gained one.
Again our thoughts and prayers are with each of you.

My thoughts and prayers are with each of you through this tough time. I remember Gail's hospitality and kindness each time I ran across the back yard to come over and play. Most times she would offer me a snack or some of her specialty ice-lemon tea. Those are the memories I will keep for the rest of my life. I know she made many people's lives much better each time she saw them. She was a wonderful woman!

Beth and Melissa, My deepest sympathy goes out to you both and your families. I'm sure she was so proud of the two of you.
Love, Jan Dyle
