Not sure what to say?

Gayl was a fellow yogi who inspired me. She shared with us that she had Alzheimers and how supportive her family and close friends were. She handled her challenge with grace and continued to do the things she loved. Gayl will be missed.

Beloved Friend Wreath

I had the great honor of being one of Gayl's yoga teacher for many years. It truly made me so happy to have her in class- she elevated the whole room with her very gentle presence. I am most grateful to have known her.

Gayle served as Pastoral Minister at Immaculate Conception Parish, Portsmouth for over two years in the early 2000's while I was Pastor. She was exceptional, and one of my biggest disappointments as Pastor was when she told me that she would have to leave as she wished to be trained/certified as a Hospice Chaplain. She brought the Lord to so many and was so motivated to provide outreach to God's people by her organizing skills, care, empathy and kindness. Msgr Edward J Kelley
