I am saddened to hear about Gail´s passing. She was a wonderful woman and for all the 4th of July parties I spend there I mostly sat with her. She always welcomed me into her home when I visited John and Tracey back in the day. Her kindness toward me when I needed during difficult times truly kept me going. Much love and caring within her and my condolences to John and family.
