To the Millers, I knew Gail the best, but I give my sympathy to all of you. Losing a loved one is so hard, but she is in a much better place, and has lost so many of her loved ones already. Now she is home with them and in the arms of her maker. May you find peace in the days to come, and enjoy all the fond memories of the past.
