It is never easy to say our last "GOOD BYE" to someone we love. Gayle has been in my life for over 22 years, I will miss her. Gayle was selfless and generous, she included my parents on special family occasions which they enjoyed so much. I know she was not ready to leave but God had a greater plan for her. It has been an honor to be called Gayle's daughter. Say hi to Wink;)

I'm listening to your favorite songs and the songs that remind me so much of you - Whitney "Nobody Loves me Like you Do" - nobody loved all of us like you did - how did you do it - you were so strong for everyone .... Oh!!!!! - this is the story page - not the I am missing you page!!!! I will be back tomorrow with a story cause I have lots of them :) I love you Mom!!!!!!! and am lost without you. I wish your days with me had not gone by so fast.
I remember this picture - it always makes me smile - everyone takes pics of you scowling or no make-up or in some uncompromising pose lol - I wanted to take pictures to show to Beverly - they all loved you at work - the Friday banana bread or muffins that you made fresh that morning, Pedro couldn't wait to see what was for lunch because you put enough food in my bag for 2 weeks lol - loved the cookies, gouda cheese, fruit, crackers... surprises lol - Beverley really wanted to meet "Mama Gayle" - I so wish she could have met you - but we took this picture so I could share at work - you were being silly and when I look at this picture just makes me miss you more lovely lady.

I loved Gayle so much. She always made me laugh. Everything always had to be "perfectly perfect." So generous, so giving, so understanding, so full of wisdom, forgiveness, and love. Her loss has left a hole in my heart that will never heal. I pray for Bill and her family. They have lost a great woman. May she rest in peace and know that she mattered and will forever be missed and loved. Bless you all. Merrilee
