We are so sorry to hear of Gayle’s passing. Ken, your mom was a fun and loving person who had a sense of adventure especially in the last few years. She often told us of a concert or get away she was planning. We will miss Gayle very much. Deepest condolences to you Ken, Brenda, Courtney & Alex and to the rest of your family.
Sincerely,
Mom & Dad “J”

Gayle was a beacon of light at the end of the tunnel. She was always there for a service commitments, and always greeted me with a hug. Gayle and Jimmy were a familiar site to me every Saturday, and I will forever cherish that smile.
Her questions always made me smile when I helped her figure out her phone. Her cats will miss her so dearly.
She was a strong woman, with a strong personality, and she despite all the ups and down, she touched the lives of many people, including myself.
My deepest condolences for your loss Ken & David.
