I remember Gail when she was first hired as a social worker at Easter Seals. She was hard working, loved the people and great to work with. I'm sorry to see she passed away so young, my heart goes out to Tom and family.

I am very sorry for your loss and that I was out of town and missed her funeral. She was a very sweet lady, friend and co-worker.

Gail was the first person I saw every morning for several years. I could always count on her to have a smile and a welcoming word or two. Her family was everything to her and she brightened every time she told me about the time you spent together. Gail was an angel here on earth with a light that shined brightly where ever she went. That light will continue on in the hearts of anyone who had the privilege of knowing her. May God comfort you in your time of mourning and her love for each of you hold until you are one day reunited in heaven.

It was such a pleasure to work with Gail for the past decade. Gail was so dedicated to her work. She would meet with me with lists of questions to better help the people of Iowa, whom we serve. She would do whatever it took to provide them with the absolute best service. Even while battling her brain cancer, she would keep smiling and keep so positive. One time she was worried about me and my headache. I literally told her that my headache was nothing compared to what she was battling and she just smiled and said she was doing great. My heart breaks for all of you, as you grieve and face this new chapter of life without your mom/wife. Gail was so proud of you and her love for you was always evident and prominent. May your memories bring you peace.

Our deepest sympathy to Tom, Laura & Jonathan. We met Gail and her family through my sister, Gayle, wife of brother, Jim Christ. She was a most pleasant person to be around. May God's Grace comfort you during this most difficult time.
