Dear family,
Gail was a wonderful, caring, kind and gentle soul.  We loved seeing her at St. Leo Masses and she would light up hearing stories of our children.
May she rest in the peace of the Lord.

I had the privilege of taking Holy Communion to Gail while I was pastoral assistant at Sacred Heart Church. I admired her great faith and the joy that shown in her face each time she received the Holy.  Eucharist. She was an inspiring woman of deep faith.
Please accept my deepest sympathy at this time of loss and  know that you and Gail are in my thoughts and prayers. 
God bless.

Who says only the good die young?  Gail will be missed. She was a role model on how to take on life challenges and keep a positive attitude and humor. May we all keep learning from her. xo
