Paula, Donna and Jeannie I'm so sorry I didn't know that Gail had passed.. I know this is coming late. I was just thinking about her after I wished Paul a happy birthday and googled her. Again my thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Dear family,
I am so sorry to hear of Gail's passing. Though I had not seen Gail since college at Fitchburg State, my memories of her are still so vivid. I remember Gail as loving, kind, generous,adventurous, courageous,honest and most of all fun! Her sense of humor was amazing. We were roommates for one year and when we were dividing up the chores in the condo she insisted on having 'wash the windows' and 'cleaning the shower' as two of hers. She said she could feel the clean! I remember her ambition to sky dive, and hearing from a mutual friend that she had achieved that particular goal (one of many). Gail certainly knew how to appreciate the gift of life that God gave her. I am sure she is with Him now, and He is blessed by her presence.
What an amazing privilege it has been for all of us to know her and share in her passion for life.
I am remembering you all in my prayers; so sorry for this tremendous loss.

We are greatly saddened to recently hear of Gail's passing. I have such fond memories of growing up with her-as does my mom. Her sense of adventure often got us into trouble, but those memories I will always hold dear. Our deepest sympathy to her husband and family. You are in our prayers.

I just learned of Gail's passing. To her family, please let me say that I am so sorry for your loss.
I was gymnastics Gail's coach when she was at Weymouth South High. She was an inspiration to so many of her teammates from the first time she stepped into the gym. And I have used her story to inspire hundreds, no thousands, of other students I have taught, both in and out of the classroom since then.
With deepest sympathy.

John, my heart goes out to you, my thoughts and prayers go out to all of Gail's love ones. Gail and I lost touch after FSC. We were on the Swim Team in Jr High and High School where we shared the most wonderful gift Gail had.... laughter! An amazing woman, it was honored to call her my friend.
Peace,
