My heart is broken that Gale has passed away. She was a dear friend. I will always remember the fun times we had working on the youth projects at Trinity. I will see you again in heaven my sweet friend.

Our hearts go out to Errol, Chad, Steven, Stacy, family & other friends as we walk this path of saying "Goodbye" to Gale. I have so many memories of our times together when we were at Trinity. A Godly woman who served her Lord in her church tirelessly for decades with joy and enthusiasm. She loved her youth, & for so many years, along side of several youth ministers, was the glue that kept the youth ministries running smoothly. I was blessed by our special friendship while we were there and...
