Gail Anderson Nelson

What an incredible lady! Putting up with Stephen's antics; repairing everything around the house; rolling her eyes at all of Denise's ideas; keeping the two largest Methodist churches in Louisiana fiscally sound; making sure that Syd met all his lawyer and political obligations; and all the time being an extraordinary mother, wife, friend and community leader with her truly effervescent smile and positive attitude. Gail's life continues to impact people across this state in such wonderful...

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. That is how I learned about your mom. Several people thought it was me and my mother. I am sure she was very proud of you and that you have wonderful memories of her. Take care, The "other" Denise Akers

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.

Dawn, Please accept my sincere condolences on the death of your mother.

This was a shocker. Did not know she was that sick. I Know she will be missed.

Deepest condolences from your Durio family.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. Lana & Mike Spencer

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!
