I am so fortunate to have shared my the brief time with Gayle. She taught me so much, and I now my days feel like something is missing. Heaven has gained a funny, bright soul, and we have lost a beautiful, wise, funny lady.
Gayle was a wonderful friend and spiritual guide. I am so thankful she was in my life, she was and will continue to be a blessing to many lives.
I only knew Gayle for a short period of time but I am so glad that I had that opportunity. She helped me so much and brought so much laughter and wisdom to my life. She will be greatly missed. Much love and prayers to her family.
Dear Lora and Roger and families,
I had the honor to come to know your mother Gayle in 2001 first as a client. Within a short time of her first visit with me she became such a dear friend, Gayle was simply genuine. I always enjoyed her caring friendship, visits, precious laughter and down to earth talks. She had such a gift and talent to share with myself and others in so many ways and she was truly a blessing. When she decided to make the move to GA to be closer to you both and her grandchildren I was so happy for her and I knew that this would be wonderful for her to spend time with her family. She often spoke of her love for her family, children and grandchildren and how they were just so precious to her. I know that she will be greatly and dearly missed by both family and those who came to truly know her as a friend. My prayers are for you all at this time and in the many days ahead, may God bless you and your families always.
Gayle was a friend, classmate and neighbor. We always loved her smile and laugh…always a joy to be around. She will be missed by all who knew her. We send our sincere sympathy to her family, who she loved so much.
