I met Gail when she visited the meditation center in Sylva, NC. I continued to visit her in Hendersonville after her stroke and am just now learning of her death. She was a good friend.

I worked with Gail at United Cerebral Palsy, beginning 35 years ago. We kept in touch after she moved to North Carolina, and I visited her when she lived in Boomer. We kept in touch by phone, and my husband and I visited her each year in Hendersonville.
She was good friend and I will miss her and her laughter.
