Denise, I am so sorry to hear of your mother passing away. My thoughts are with you. While our paths have not crossed recently, I still get calls from people confused over our similar name.

Saddened by this news. My mother was very fond of Gail. Gail was her go to person when she was diagnosed with her own immunodeficiency disease. She was a lovely lady. My condolences to all of you.

St.James Place is a community of people who share their lives and love with one another. Your parents fit right in. It was a joy knowing them. My life is enriched and blessed because of their friendship. I will miss Gail but also appreciate the time I had with her. I send much love and prayers to you, her family, as you cope with your loss.

You will always be missed by us and our children. We had fun times beginning with that Slip-n-Slide and on through many beach gatherings. Rest in peace now; job well done!
