I have never met Gail, but from how you all spoke of her, she sounded like the best person and a complete joy to have around. I am truly sure, that her kindness, generosity, and caring nature, were contagious and her memory will live on forever. I am giving monthly donations to the A. C. L. U. as a tribute to her and your wonderful family.

Gail and I were sorority sisters at U of Md. We stayed in touch over the years and attended one another's weddings. Her personality was loving and large, and I will miss her enormously and forever.

I met Gail in elementary school and attended the same schools through High School. Bethesda was a small town back then and in our little corner everyone knew each other. While we were never close, she was always a great person to be around. I'm glad to have known her. My prayers go out to the family.

Gail was my principal at Charles Drew Elementary School. She was an amazing leader. She always had her staffs back and she took care of all the children like her own. I had the utmost respect for Gail, and when I think of her I will smile. Rest In Peace with the Lord now, and one day we will meet again. My heart is very sad!
