The town office will never be the same. I still find myself waiting for you to come up the stairs to work in the morning so I can holler over as you unlock the door "Good Morning Sunshine" just to hear you groan and look over your shoulder at me with those eyes. I knew you hated mornings so I always tried to make you smile before you went in that door! You will forever be in my heart, my friend! Until we meet again.. Leis

The family and co-workers of Gail are in our thoughts during this time of sorrow. She was a special person, reminding us that we are from a small town and that people in the town office really do know us and care. She always knew what you were there for before you stepped up to her window at the town office. Gail will be sadly missed by our family.

When I heard the news, I was in shock and denial. How could such a beautiful person be taken from us so quickly? It is hard to imagine going to work and not seeing her smiling face there and not to hear her call everyone "cutie". Gail was truly one of a kind. God must have had an opening for a new angel. RIP Gail, you will be missed by all.

On that sorrowful day last week a hand reached out for Gail. From my childhood all I could think of was her Dad saying "Gaily Bug, come to your Daddy. I'll take care of you, my little darlin".
May Gail's whole family find comfort in knowing she is by his side.

Wish I could be home to share your sorrow. Chris (Turner) Smith

Gail and i were class mates at North El. And i had moved away after 6 grade, but them were good day's, It was a long time ago but i recall her giggle, smile just like it was only yesterday.She was a fun friendly classmate that was nice to everyone. I do not know any of her family today, my guess is most have her outlook and manner. And Addison's heart is hurting real bad right now because this loss. That is how hurts when you lose someone you know truly loved you. God bless Gail and her family.

I am so sorry to learn of Gail's death. She and I attended Skowhegan High School together in the Class of 1968 where she was always known to be one of the friendliest girls in the class.
