I would like to send my deepest cympathy to the entire family. May God continue to comfort and keep you during this difficult time. My dear sweet friend Gail, You will be missed! We have know each other since we came out our mother's womb. We have stayed connected throughout these years as we navigatged to our different educations and career paths. As we reconnected through our later years and began to hang with other frinds our bond became more like a sisterhood. I thank God for the time that he allowed us to be in one anothers lives. One thing about you is that your were a real one! Always keeping us together and making sure we did things the right way as a sister/friend group. I will cherish our last moment together. I thank God for that one on one time with you! I will love you to infinity. Rest well my dear sweet friend! love you... #96 Bobcats
