Oh, how I am going to miss seeing sweet Gayle at the post office each day. We somehow always managed to get there at the same time most every day. Our conversations were usually short and sweet (just like her!) and her smile always made my day. Somehow going to the post office isn’t going to be the same; however, I will always see her cute little white Honda and see that beaming smile in my minds’ eye. Praying for peace and comfort to all of her family that is going to miss her.
Will miss that voice on the phone, and that wonderful laugh that brought so much warmth and love. Special lady, loving friend, and kindest of hearts. Now rest in loving arms.
We are so sorry. Praying for all the family.
Praying for you all. Hugs
So many memories with Gail and my family! It meant the world to me to always know that your mom (and dad before he passed) would always be there when I visited home. Your mom was very special to Sara and I and she will be dearly missed.
Todd and Lesli you both are in my thoughts and prayers always. I love you both very much.
What a blessing Gail was to everyone. She always had a smile on her face. Prayers for strength and peace from our Heavenly Father. With heartfelt sympathy, Janice Phelps
