We met Gail at the wedding of my mom, Deb, to Scott. So many people. So many new faces. Gail put my daughter, Linnea, and me at ease immediately. We became friends, sometimes conversing on Facebook. Gail will be missed.

I couldn't have asked for a better little sister. I will always remember Gail's smile, laughter, and playfulness. And, for introducing Deb to a Sea Breeze! I will miss you. I love you.

I played bridge with Ruthe, Gail's mother, and remember meeting Gail one evening when she was out eating with her parents and the kindness that Gail showed them was wonderful. I send her family my deepest sympathy. Ruthe is also very much missed.

I am so sad to hear of Gail's passing. She was such a kind soul and we had so many memories throughout Jr and Sr High School. God had gained a true angel
