Julene, words are inadequate to express my heartfelt, deepest sympathy to you. The years and miles have separated us, but the fond memories of fantastic next door neighbors, an excellent dentist, and dear friends has, and always will remain in my heart. Gail was tops in every respect and so are you. My prayers are with you during this time of adjustment, and from the voice of experience, with each sunrise the pain you endure now will eventually become happy memories. Love and hugs, Joanne (May) Davis
