Gail was truly one of God's bright,courageous,loving angels on earth,
and now in Heaven. She is missed by family and friends; however, we take comfort that she is absent from the body,but present with the Lord.

I enjoyed worshiping with Gail. We usually sat together on the same row every Sunday at 10AM. We rejoiced together; sang together, praised together and sometimes cried together. She always was a ray of sunshine and had a wonderful smile. I will miss her. May God grant you His Peace; Joy; Good Memories of Gail and His Comfort at this time of your sorrow.

To Joyce and the Gilliam Family, No one can truly comprehend the loss that you feel, or the sadness that you must be going through at this time. Gail was a lady who carried a smile that would lift your spirits on the spot. I know that your hearts are heavy and the void and emptiness you are feeling right now will be with you for a very long time, but knowing that you will be in her presence again in heaven gives you hope. Gail's battle with sickness has been won and now she is resting. May the Love and Peace of God be with you.
