Dear Mr. Nelson & Family,
My prayer to Jesus was that Gail would be healed like in the parable, (John 5:8 Jesus said to him, "Rise, take up your mat, and walk".), that was the miracle I prayed and begged for her. However, God does not always answer our prayers the way we would like. Gail did receive a miracle October 3rd, the miracle of life with Jesus after her death. What an awesome gift from God. Gail, I believe, was one of God's saints that walked this...

Gail will always be remembered for her heart of gold. She was a kind hearted person.

To the Nelson family:I'm sorry to hear about your mom, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Thanks mom for being the most patient and understanding person I have ever known!! You always had so much love to share with everyone, and you touched so many peoples' hearts with your gentle hands. Now you can sing with the other angels in heaven. Me, Jon, and Alyssa will miss you so much. I will make sure Alyssa remembers what a sweet and special grandma that she had. Will you be her guardian angel please?!

Gail,
I admire you. What a wonderful example you set as a wife and mother. There are few people who really follow what they beleive in every day. Thank you for extending your charm, caring, and patience to so many others through girl and cub scouts, church and school, and all of us on Taylor street. Let us all remember you, and all be better each day in how we treat others.
Thank You, Maureen

Moving to Taylor Avenue was the best thing that ever happened to the Gubash girls. We are part of the best - "Taylor Avenue Gang". Gail was/is/always will be a very great influence in my life. She was a blessing, a joy. Gail was my confidante, "spiritual director". She was the answer to my call to Adoration. Gail touched the hearts of strangers in a mini Cursillo serenade one day; none of us will ever be the same; she was gift to us. Thanks to all of you for...
