Please accept my deepest sympathies.
I pray for all of you in this time of mourning. I did not know, or spend time with Gail as much as I would have liked. I do however know that she was a great woman who loved and cared for her family and friends more than words can say. I am sure she is still doing the same...just from heaven.
