I only heard about Gail's passing the other day and was immediately so saddened, but just as quickly remembered our times together singing in some show or play that Licklog was producing...bac k in the 70's Gail was an idol of mine and I loved her spirited talent. I have such fond memories of her. I pray she is resting in sweet peace and offer you my most sincere sympathy.
For Gail's family: The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. (Num. 6:24-26)

I am so sorry to hear of Gail's passing. I know Gail from my time when I worked with Angela, she was all smiles.I pray that peace and love be with you.
I worked with Gail for a good while at Cherokee, Clay, Graham FSA. In fact, I traveled to the office in Hayesville to train her and another employee.That was shortly before the 3 counties merged into one and the office was located in Murphy.
She and I never had a short word. She was easy to work with and loads of fun. I still use some of her sayings to this day. I am sad to say I didn't keep up with her closely once she went back into banking. Too, I had a bout with the disease that claimed her life. I retired in 1997, and I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2002. She and I were part of a sisterhood that we did not want to be in.
She was proud to be your mother. I know you have taken the best care possible of her, and you gave her 2 little boys to love. Her light has been extinguished too soon. You have my deepest sympathy.
