Gene, Art and Family,
So very sorry to hear of the passing of one of my fondest childhood friend and classmate. Gail was such a beautiful, loving, caring and giving friend. I will always cherish our childhood days growing up in the "Village" and classmates at WWHS.
May the good lord be with the family at such a time as this.

We were all blessed to have had Gail in our lives. This goes back many years with the Bugess & Deegan Clan in "the Project"! There are many funny stories that are remembered and we will never forget them. Friendship was something they all lived and taught us all. Gail was a Survivor of Cancer, she beat it many times, she showed us to never give up. She fought the fight with strength, dignity & grace. We will never forget Gail!

Uncle Gene, Gene, Mike, Nella, Mary and the grandkids.
We were all blessed to have had Aunt Gail in our lives. Her positive attitude and genuine joy for life was infectious. May she rest in peace. Although, we think she may not be resting...but either dancing up a storm with Uncle Wayne or playing marbles with Mom!
Love you all much,
Wendy and Glen Manemeit

No words can describe how special Aunt Gail was. She was so positive that you couldn't help but buy into that attitude. She was even positive when the Sox were down 3-0 in 2004 to the Yanks and look what happened there. I could go on forever but anybody who knows her or even came into contact with her knows how special Aunt Gail was. She will be missed by those who knew her and those who did not get the opportunity to get to know her.
Uncle Gene, Genie, Michael, Mary, Nella and the grandkids, please know that we love you all that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

To my loves,your wife,mother and my Aunt Gail. She was the strongest woman I have ever met and fought for 17 years and beat cancer many times. I can only hope that you know what she meant to me and how much I loved her. I will never ever forget the wonderful memories on Randolph Road, her beautiful gardens and man could that woman decorate! I will carry her in my heart until the day we are joined again in God's Kingdom. My love and prayers to you all.
