If only the world had more people like Gail it would be a much better place. Genuine, kind, caring, sincere, respectful, humble, courageous. Gail was an amazing lady who always had time and kind words for so many. Thank you Gail. You taught me a lot. God bless.

Dear Brian and family,

I am incredibly sorry to hear of Gail's passing. I worked with Gail for the past 4 years at The Commonwell. Gail's kindness, sense of humour and bravery will never be forgotten. She often called me over to her desk to show me photographs of her grandchildren; she was so very proud of them. I am thinking of you all during this incredibly difficult time.
Sincerely, Effie Eyman

I wanted to express my heartfelt condolences to Gail's family. There's such a sense of helplessness when someone we love dies. I'd like to share some scriptural thoughts that really helps me. Prayer is so valuable at this time but it's not that prayer simply makes us feel better. 2 Cor.4:7 says that God can give us, "... power beyond what is normal ", to go from one day to the next. This does not mean that we no longer cry or that we forget, but it means we recover. The reason we recover is because of our hope. Jesus Christ talked about our hope in John 5:28, "... all those in the memorial tomb will hear his voice and come out ". Jesus was referring to the resurrection, this is our hope. 2 Cor.1:3 describes our Creator as, "... the God of all comfort ". One way that God comforts us is by moving people who care about us to give us words of encouragement that we need to hear. May the God of comfort (Ps. 83:18) be your comfort now during this time of sorrow.

She was such a nice woman and really took the time to help me learn as I was new to the insurance industry.

Brian, and all Gail's family and friends,
Our sense of loss for you is shared and not lessened by the distance apart at this time. The group or individual times together can never be the same but nevertheless we look forward to a next one to remember and enjoy Gail's participation.
