Gail was not only a true friend, but was kind to everyone she met. I am so blessed to have known and worked with her and will miss our adventures and long chats. Her humor and kindness will be truly missed.
Gail and I were best friends in high school and till the day she died…will miss her and our lunchs over the years..
Gail and I spent many, many hours collecting admissions fees at Neutral Ground dances. She took on the job of keeping track of all the money after Barb retired–a big responsibility, but she took it on willingly, and was a perfectionist about it. She would come to the dances without dinner and liked to eat those little mini-bags of popcorn. Rest in peace, Gail.
