Gail's joys in life were simple: family, friends, and fun. She was enthusiastic when it came to playing the piano, singing, and dancing. Gail was an artist in the traditional sense as well as in the kitchen using her creative talents.  A truly beautiful soul she shared with us her strength, kindness and love in which she led by example. Gail and her brother Bob and sister Karen shared a deep bond through adventures and life long support.
She always looked forward to her luncheons with her long time friends Elaine and Lucille. Gail felt fortunate to have wonderful neighbors that lent a helping hand or simply had a kind word.

One of her dreams was to travel to Ireland which she did in 2001.

The song has ended but the melody will linger on.

There are no calling hours and burial will be private.

In lieu of donations and to honor Gail's life her family encourages everyone to cherish the time you have with those you love.  Make the phone call.  Plan the visit.  Share the conversation.  The greatest gift we can give one another is our time.
