I am so sorry to learn of Gail's passing. She was such a warm and friendly face at MHS and I have always respected her ability as a teacher. I hope your warm memories of Gail will help you through your grief. You are in my thoughts.

I am so saddened to hear of Gail's passing. She was one of my favorite reserve teachers. She always had a smile on her face when I'd greet her and ask her who she was subbing for. Gail will truly be missed by the Minnetonka High School teaching community.

I was shocked to hear this news. I will miss Gail's presence here at Minnetonka High School. I always enjoyed having her work for our department. She was a kind woman. My thoughts are with you.

I have missed not having Gail here at MHS as a reserve teacher this year. Just last week I was asking about her and I called Leila for her address so I could send her a card. I am sorry to hear she is gone. We really loved her as a reserve. Teachers were always requesting her.
