I am very saddened to learn of Gail's passing. I called her Gail, didn't know that she was a Patricia. I hope that she was not in pain and that her death was as peaceful as possible. This should be a warning to all the women out there that heart problems are the leading cause of death in women - not breast cancer or other cancers. She was a wonderful human being and one of the kindest people I knew. Through her shyness she showed true, caring feelings. To those who she left behind - know that she has been a wonderful person her entire life. Sincerely, Michelle MizeTerry Cody (1970)
