I worked with Gail in the library for many years. We became good friends.with time, we drifted apart, but I am shocked and saddened to hear of her passing at such a young age. Thoughts go to her family, many who I also knew.

Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
To sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We are all meant to learn some things,
But never meant to stay.
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know,
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow
But when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Rest in Peace, Gail.
