Gail will always be remembered as a wonderful woman. A very loving wife and mother.
Gail (Known to me also fondly as Mom) took me in at the mere age of 16 as an exchange student from Kenya, a young Indian girl who knew nothing of America, she treated me as one of her own and encouraged me to try many of my firsts! A devoted wife and mother, which also showed through the 4th graders she taught.
I will always be honored to be one of her daughters and am thankful I was part of her family.
Hugs and Love to Dad, Dana and Alison ♥️
Larry and I will be with you in spirit as you celebrate all that your mom meant to you in her life on Wednesday night. I was so pleased to hear of the excellent care she and your family received from hospice care.
Gail was an amazing lady and a dedicated Christian. She will be missed by all and is now in God’s loving arms.
