Gail meant everything to me as a young teenager in the 80´s who was obsessed with fashion magazines and beauty to see her face, was seeing me, was seeing beauty represented as a Black Woman was everything, I purchased every magazine I saw her in, mostly Elle and Mademoiselle, and remember seeing her sister model as well , both beautiful! representation matters, so saddened that this has happened, she will always be an inspiration to me!
Rest peacefully!

I remember seeing your photos in magazines when I was a teen and all I could think about was how breathtakingly beautiful you were. You gave me the confidence to be strong and beautiful in my own right. You beautiful soul, may God welcome you into the kingdom of heaven and give you the most beautiful wings. Rest in eternal peace Gail.

I knew Gail because I was her Dental Hygienist. She had the most beautiful smile and so much warmth that came from it. She was so beautiful inside and out. I will truly miss treating her. Everyone at our office loved her.

I remember being in middle school and looking through all the fashion magazines in the store. When I got to ELLE Magazine, Gail was so gorgeous and brown! Her beautiful face jumped off the cover! Even in the early 90's there wasn't that much representation for girls of color. It was sooo refreshing to see her! I still have that magazine 30 years later. She had the brains and beauty that inspired me and I will always cherish her contributions to this world. My deepest condolences go out to her family and friends. Heartbroken Fan- Freddi Vernell
