Gail will be missed. We were her neighbors in N. Myrtle Beach. She watched are children grow into adults and was always so excited to hear of their continued progress through the years.
We are Deeply Saddened for your loss. God Bless Bob and all of you especially during this difficult time.

I worked with Gail at The Genesee Hospital and we became friends. She had a baby shower for me at her home. We lost touch through the years but I will always remember her kindness. God bless you and lift you up out of sadness ?
As a good friend of Bob’s for many years, I’m saddened to hear of her passing, It sounds as if she had a fulfilled life surrounded by the joy her family brought to her. Prayers for comfort and peace to the family.
My husband Larry and I are Gail and Bob’s neighbors in North Myrtle Beach and I knew their son, Mike, when we were school kids. Gail was an intelligent, caring and attentive person who clearly loved and was proud of her children and grandchildren. Gail and Bob’s marriage of 63 years was a testament to their devotion to each other. We are praying for Bob and his family for strength and peace in the coming days and will always miss Gail.
