Although I have never had the pleasure of meeting Gail, I felt as if I knew her through Jeff's words. I would like to express my deepest sympathy and condolences to your family. I too share the same grief as I also lost my wife to cancer earlier this month. Know that they are both in heaven watching down on each of us. God bless you and yours. May God's light shine upon her and give your family comfort.
