Her strongest wish was to see her grandchildren grow and prosper through Christ. She will be greatly missed by her family and many friends.

Lyle and I send our most sincere sympathy to you,Dale and your family. We will always remember those first few years in Milwaukee and the last few here in Naples....Take care ...We are thinking of you. Jean

My condolences to Gail's husband and family. I belonged to an "antique club" (a small informal group in Edina) and reaped so much from Gail. She was an inspiration to all of us. I cherish a visit to her Door Cty home where some of us gathered one summer many years ago. Unfortunately I never connected with Gail here in Naples FL - my loss for sure.

Everytime I see antique pine furniture I will surely remember Gail.

Tom ( and entire Showers family)
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
