Not sure what to say?

Our lives are so blessed to call you Friend. You are a pure delight with such a loving heart and a good soul that has a light so bright, we are forever changed in the very best way. Until we meet again, dear one... Shalom, Kat and Terry (you know, you'll always be his favorite)



Gayle had a special personality that lit up an entire room. I was lucky to call her my friend for almost 50 years. When I think of her, I think of a beautiful flower in a spent garden.

I'll always love you, my dearest friend for 45 years. You were the gracious, fun, accessible, loving friend everyone wants but very few get to have. I'll miss you until I see you again. I'm grateful to have had you in my life.

Gayle was an always such a bright, kind, and loving person. She will be missed so deeply.

May angels lead you in <3

We spent some fun times with Gayle on various "car tours" through a car club. She was always happy and loved visiting with everyone. We will miss her very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with her husband & family.

We met Gayle and Bob Gordon when we moved next door to them in 2011. Having them as our neighbor's was wonderful.
We will dearly miss Gayle but fondly recall her presence.

When I think of Gayle, among all the wonderful memories I have, the Cuervo Rockets is the most vivid. Though watching her ski, hearing her laugh, and remembering her warm and welcoming spirit rank above the rest. May God bless and keep you in peace and love.

Gayle, I always remember your smile and sense of humor when I think of you. Until we meet again...
