Bill and Luke, so sorry for you both. You two were Gail's "angels". Gail was a fun loving person, when we worked in the same office we spent many lunch hours together and it was always a lot of laughs. She told me that the first time she saw you Bill that she heard wedding bells.. and she kept true to her words. You two have been strong through Gail's illness and I know you will continue to be strong. My thoughts and feelings are with you.

Bill and Luke, we are very sorry for your loss. I haven't seen Gail in many years, but the years that our children spent growing up together Gail was always there for them. I will always remember her for the times she helped out with the scouting movement, birthday parties she planned for Luke and the shared New Years Eve when we would take each others sons so every other year we could enjoy an adult New Years' Eve. May all your happy memories help you through this difficult time. Glenn, Florence and Michael Hall

Bill, we are greatly saddened to hear of Gail's passing. Gail and Betty-Anne were always good friends and roommates. Betty-Anne was extremely upset when she read the obituary. We were in In-do China and unable to write a condolence to you and the family.
Gail was a lovely person and will be missed by both of us.
Again our deepest sympathies to you and the family.

My sincere condolenses to Bill and Luke at this sad time. Gail and I were members of the 3rd Oshawa Group Committee of Beavers and Cubs when Luke and my Adam were young. We met at her home many times for meetings and I always enjoyed her company and the tricks of the family's Jack Russell.
