I just can't believe that Gail is gone. We worked together at Newsome until April of last year when she learned of her illness. She was one of the dearest, sweetest people that I have ever met and it was a joy to go the office every day and see her smiling face. She spoke so often about her wonderful family that we all felt like we were part of it. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Gail will truly be missed.

Susan and family. we were so saddened to learn of your loss. I have heard you speak of Gail so often, it seems as if I know her. May you take comfort in knowing she is in the presence of God where she is in no more pain. May her memory be eternal.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I worked with Gail at Newsome and she was one of the sweetest and dearest people I know. She had a great love for God and her family was everything to her. She was there for me many times and was always willing to help if she could. She will be missed dearly and I know that she is looking down at us now just waiting to be reunited again one day. May God be with you all and my thoughts and prayers go out to you.
