To my oldest niece. You were a fun loving full of life person who loved her children more than they will ever know. Sometimes life has a way of twisting and turning our plans and taking us in directions that we never expected to take. You will always be in my heart. Love Aunt Pat
Gail you are now in Gods hands. A place where you will be safe with all the angels and saints. I will always remember your smile, your good intentions to do things, our talks and your telling me of the deep love that you have for your children and grandchildren and brothers and sister. You can now guide them from above. Like the flower, I know that you will not forget them and neither will I. Nor will I forget you.. May God put your soul at rest and your mind at ease. I love you Aunt Bonnie

Larry Lisa Painter We are saddened to hear of Gails passing too soon. We were honored to be a friend of Gails several years ago. She loved her family dearly and she will be greatly missed. Our heartfelt sympathies with thoughts and prayers of comfort, strength and healing for her family at this very difficult time. God bless you all!
I am very sorry to hear of your loss. The lost of a loved one grieves the heart and words are never enough to take away the pain. However, our Heavenly Father knows your grief. As a loving and caring Father, He will be there to comfort and sooth your “broken-heart and crushed spirit”. ( Psalm 3418 ). May you find comfort and hope in Gods promise of a day when you will reunite with your loved one again. ( Isaiah 2619 ). My sincere condolences to the family.
