I am sorry to hear of Gale's passing but am glad that she is no longer suffering. I have known Gale since we were in first grade at Magnolia School through our graduation from Sandy Valley in 1964. May you and family find comfort in your fond memories of, and your love for, Gale.

Gale, as I remember her as a classmate and BFF in grade, middle, & HS, studious, always a leader, little shy and a very special person to myself and others. I regret we have not kept in contact as I would have liked, but I was always in the Washington, DC & Overseas areas working, but to hear of her home going is a real moment of sadness to my heart. However, I am happy to know she was a Christian, and I will see her again on the other side. I pray her flight home to be with our Father in Heaven will be glorious, restful & peaceful. My condolences to each and every family member on her passing and that the peace of GOD, that surpasses all understanding, will comfort you in your time of sadness and grief. May the Blessings of our Lord & Saviour JESUS CHRIST be with you always.
