Mrs. Gail, when I first met Melinda I thought she was from New York! Ya know with all of the bright colored clothes and oh her jewelry. Then I met you and thought how are they not from New York! The difference is, even though you dressed with lots of color, wore the big jewelry and of course the lip stick you definitely did not have that New York demeanor. You had the most sweetest smile, the gleam in your eyes, and that beautiful heart. I did not know you as well as most, but when we did see you, you made us feel like one of your own. Your love for your husband, children, grandchildren and the rest of the family showed in everything you did. You will be greatly missed. Much Love. The Florida Betts Family

Marcia and Family, your Mom was the most precious of people that God has graced us with on this earth. She loved you and Dearll and the rest of the family with her whole heart. She loved those grandkids unlimitedly. Gail was so professional at work and always treated everyone with courtesy and respect. I loved working with Gail and missed her so much when she retired. I know your heart aches for her, but I hope it comforts you to know that God is blessing her now. I pray for your comfort and strength now. Love you both.

I always looked forward to Ms, Gail greeting me at church. She was always uplifting, and she enjoyed talking about her family. Truly a special lady. She will be missed.

Heaven needed a special rose. She was always dressed so beautiful that lipstick always so perfect. I love working with her for years. She was a friend you could count on. So to the family your loss is heavens gain. But just remember its not goodbye its see you later. So until we get to heaven the memories will linger here on earth. Praying for each one of the family.Love to you all, Norris & Jo
