Dearest Gail,
You are such a very "special" part of my life. You always encouraged me to hold on to God's promises and the vision God has given me.
Thank you for always reminding me
"the deal's still on"
We always hoped that we would see the vision come true together but I guess God wanted you to have a ring
side seat.
I miss you and love you....

Fellow classmate and friend Charley described Gail wonderfully. That is the way I knew her very outgoing, an insatiable contagious smile and a zest for life. I am very sorry to hear of her loss and was so looking forward to seeing her at our class reunion. You will be remembered Gail.

I remember most being in 6th grade with Gail at New Providence! We played jacks every recess! We spend many weekends together! There was a little competition between friends. I wish I could remember all the twists and turns of our jack play! We also got to dance on Friday if our class behaved! Both of us love this!! I'll have to wait until heaven to play jacks with her again! Blessings to her family!!

Gail knew one thing for sure...she was chosen!God showed her that many times in the scriptures and was reminded time and time again at Friday Night Bible Studies. Questioning it at first, she slowly, yet faithfully embraced it. And when she did, she was ready for anything. Even if Our Father called her home to Himself. I will miss her, but I know we will see each other soon. This I can say with great assurance. And now that she is home, she is not looking back! I consider it an honor and a privilege, not just to know her, but to call her my sister! Gail-ski, you may not be with us now, but Gail's-Goodies will remain until the Lord returns! In other words, you are still a part of "our little family!"
I wish I had the opportunity to give you one more hug...but, I will wait, for it will be much greater, and of course, more heavenly there!
Your Brother in the Lord, John.

Gail was a true light in my life and she will be missed every day. In life I called here "friend", now I call her one of my Guardian Angels. R.I.P. my dear friend. Love you to pieces!
