To the Hickey and Ebers Familiies,



I was saddened to hear of Gail's untimely passing. May you find comfort in knowing that she is no longer suffering and is finally at peace in the arms of our Heavenly Father. She was a special gal and a great classmate at B.I.C.H.S. We are so glad for having had the opportunity to see her at our 50th reunion. May God bless you all in your loss!

God Bless Gail, may she finally rest in peace without pain. Aunt Myrt Hickey brought us to her house years ago and she was the kindest, sweetest, most generous lady I have ever met. She made an incredible impression on me as a child and I will always have a special place in my heart for her. My deepest sympathy to the Hickey's and Eber families. God Bless you all.

Sincerely and with love,

Sharon Dooley Rogers

I have many wonderful memories of a wonderful person and aunt. I can't remember a time when she didn't think of helping me or anyone else out. She was very supportive when I needed her most. I loved her dearly and probably didn't tell her enough. I will miss her very much.
