I continue to miss Gayle. She was a close friend at school and at school reunions. I’m hoping her family peace in the years to come. As I know she would want this for them.

I am sooo sorry to hear this news about Gael's passing. I remember her having so much fun riding on the Bahia Belle Boat all the way across to the other side. I think she was just using a cane to walk around at that time, or maybe even a walker. She was smiling ear to ear...sooo happy to be riding outside at night...even though it was pretty cold that night all the way to the other hotel!

I'm saddened to hear of Gael's passing. I knew her from our high school days at Clairemont High, and always remembered her as vibrant, loving and friendly to everyone. Her warm smile and friendly manner were contagious. Condolences to her family, and may she rest in peace.

I met you at your beautiful daughter Amber’s wedding and you were holding your sweet little dog. You gave me a hug and I could see the kindness in your eyes and the grace in your stance. You raised a caring, compassionate and thoughtful daughter in Amber. I do know this, you loved and were loved in return, and had a heart for animals and nature... you left too soon, may you Rest In Peace.

Gael and I were friends in high school on the volleyball team and track team. She was always running after me to see if I was doing the right thing? When really she just wanted to be sure I was following her directions!! She was so bossy!! But deep down inside she just cared about me and wanted what was best for me. Gael and I were always teammates and super competitive on the field.
