"I met Gail over 35 years ago when she did hair while laid off from Misco!!! It was easy to become fast friends with her and we had so much fun!! We saw eachother through the years and she was always a party ready to happen and SO TOUGH. I'm not sure she will EVER rest, but I pray for her eternal peace, and for all who love and will miss her.
I'll see you on the other side, Gail! "

"I first saw Gail sitting the lunch counter at the Cove across from the high school. She was laughing with her friend and by far the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. But It wasn't until that summer when Gail took a stumble tumble down her girlfriend's, second story apartment stairs that we finally met. My friend and I rushed to give Gail aid but she jumped to her feet laughingly saying, "Oh you guys." That was the summer of 1969 and I fell in love. We weaved in and out of each lives over the decades. Gail was strong, sweet, fun, loving, and genuine. She was "go for it girl" that enjoyed many activities including hiking, biking, skiing, sailing, camping, and adventuring. But most of all, she loved being with her family. I was so fortunate to see and feel part of this family love with her. Gail will always be dear to my heart. I'm so sorry Lonnie, Ed, and family."

"I was blessed to have been a childhood friend of Gail?s since elementary school. Her laugh was infectious, and her caring and loving heart was enormous. Our Phillips School girls luncheons will never be the same without her there, but her presence will always be felt. Rest In Peace my dear friend. Your painful journey here on earth is done and you fought a hard, long fight."

"So sorry for your loss Keith, Cindy, Lonnie and family. Gail and I were friends from Kindergarten on, along with the rest of our neighborhood friends. We have remained friends all these years. You will be so missed as part of our lunch crew of school friends and so glad we had all had those years together. We had lots of talks about what was on the other side and I always said your mom and dad and say hi to my mom that loved her too and all our animals that went before us. I'm glad my mom was at the last lunch she was able to be at, she was so glad to see all you childhood women she cared about. I will love and miss you forever my friend????"

"My beautiful friend - you had such a beautiful and compassionate heart. Life took us in different directions but I never once forgot about our late night talks, great times and shenanigans. You were a true friend. There is comfort knowing you are reunited with your sweet mom and dad who loved you dearly. Rest well my friend. "

"Lonnie, Ed and Family also Keith and cousin Cindy Knight. I'm so sorry for the loss of our family member Gail Susan. She was a unique woman and will be missed truly by all of us. She asked me several times lately what was on the other side, she now knows her Savior and loving family that had to go on before. You will forever be missed Gail. Love eternally, Cousin Carol & LeRoy ps: Suzy you and Brenda better behave."

"I guess some one has to go first to break the ice. I am so sorry for your loss Lonnie.
I am not much on speech's so all I can say is Suzy was one of the neighbor hood gang. And loved by many of us.
May the Lord cradle Gail and take her to her home in the sky.........Amen
