She had so many special qualities that everyone she met was instantly drawn to her. She was a sweet, unique, kind soul that loved unconditionally and would give all of herself in every situation. Her kind heart and gentle spirit abounded from her beautiful smile and stunning blue eyes. All who met her knew there was just something about Gail. She loved completely. She put others before herself. She loved her family. In fact, her closest friends consisted of her family and a few dear friends she met along her journey. She received great joy from her children and grandchildren and was honored to have the opportunity to spend any moment, opportunity, or adventure with them. She was extremely proud of her family. She loved people. Opinionated, she always had something to say about anything and everything. Although, she always had an opinion, she would support you and be loyal no matter what the cost. You could count on her steadfast dependability. Gail was generous beyond words. She readily gave of her time and talents as well as possessions. If you needed something, she would always find a way to help. If you even mentioned you like something, she somehow managed to deliver it to you as soon as she was able. With her kind heart and free spirit, she will be greatly missed! Gail loved the Lord with all her heart, and even during her struggles, she believed God had a plan for her life. She was filled with the fruits of the spirit including joy, faithfulness, kindness, generosity and love. Along her journey she collected many jewels in her heavenly crown and she will be welcomed with open arms and a valiant cry of well done good and faithful servant! Find rest, on my soul, in God alone; My hope comes from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress. I will not be shaken. Psalm 62:5
