Quiet, Shy and what a Smile...I attended Solomon and GHS with Gail. I have watched the website and scrolled through the memorials, I felt like Gail needed a Rose by her name. I know she had many friends in the Classes of '70 & '71, she was always very kind and again what a Smile. I will share a memory of Gail with you all. Senior Year at GHS in Mrs. Cole's Drama Class and what a class. Gail, Sharman, Karen, Jo Ann and a few more folks that use to run around together. Mrs. Cole had me sit at the front of class by the door as she stood outside in the hall with her outgoing nature and kind spirit. One day during early Spring a group of the young ladies were coming into the class and I guess I was looking and admiring some of the art work at GHS. Mrs Cole looked at me and told me that with those faces that I made I should think of taking up acting; needless to say I turned a shade of red brighter than a red traffic light....Gail was one of those young ladies, she could light the room with her smile. I had not seen Gail for many years, probably close to 20 years when I heard of her passing. A couple of classmates passed along to me some of her struggles - I would like to Pass Along a Smile and Hug to a Nice, Kind Classmate. Gail, I hope you found Peace and I hope you are keeping the crew straight. Miss Your Smile.

Gail was a kind and gentle soul and nice to everyone she encountered, including me. So sorry to hear of her passing.
