My family and I are blessed to have known such a special person and are very upset by the loss, but we know that she is in a better place now. She will be forever in our hearts.

My favorite holiday memory of Auntie Gail was the year I sent her Christmas card which had funny animals on it spelling out the words to the song "We wish you a Merry Christmas" but it was in pictures more like "We fish ewe a mare egrets moose, panda hippo new deer". She gathered any family she had over Christmas morning, called me and asked me to put the call on speaker phone. She then had everyone there "try" and sing this new version of the Christmas song. Steve and I laughed so hard that we cried and that story is talked about at our home every year. I miss her too. Love Anne
