Tammy, I am so sorry. I am just now seeing this. Gail was such a great person. I got to know her well when I worked in the office at MSystem and she worked in the floral department. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Tammy, I'm so sorry! No matter how old we are when we lose our mom, it's very difficult. I'll miss seeing Gail at UP. Mama was glad to call her a friend.

I enjoyed knowing and developing a friendship the last couple of years with Gail. We shared many a conversation and laughs.
I always got a kick out of Gail and the ladies as they sat around visiting and drinking coffee. They were good friends and had known each other for many years, and even gone to school together. Their laughs was so contagious, I would find myself sitting at my desk wanting to burst out with laughter .
Gail's career in life was making beauty for others in her floral arrangements; now it is time for her to be among that beauty, and peace. She is truly blessed to be in the presence of our Heavenly Father.
Gail will be missed, and when the phone rings on my shift, the memory of her calling and saying "whats you doing" will be be there.
God Bless and be with Tammy and her family during this time of loss, giving them strength to carry on Gail's legacy.
In loving memory, see you again my friend! Jan

I have known Gail since high-school. In our ;later years we were friends in Ladies of "53. She was always kind and loving. We had many fun breakfasts at the Dixie Pig with Celia Harlow and Debbie Davis. My prayers go out to her family at this sad time.
