Our heart felt condolences to the family of Gail. We shared a few meetings with friends. Penny Auctions and get together with my family member and friends that I attended. Gail was very kind to myself and daughter. She was thoughtful and genuinely interested in how we were doing. That left an impression. Yes gone to soon. God has not taken her, He is receiving her! Living her best next life in the after. A beautiful soul.

We are deeply grieved to hear of your mother’s passing. Her spirit, compassion, and wisdom touched us all. I still remember when Gail so graciously helped us out when your grandfather, Raymond Stark, passed away back in 1983. Her financial experience and steadfast support ensured the financial aspects were resolved quickly. Our deepest condolences to all of you and your family during this time of loss.

I was shocked to learn of Gail’s passing. Taken too soon. I admired her for doing the walk on the Camino de Santiago. And for quitting smoking. Determined spirit. Condolences to her children, Jamie, Tracy and Jeff. And condolences to her other family and friends.

My condolences to the family Gail was a good friend and will be missed. She was always positive and there when you needed her. She loved talking about her children and how proud she was of them. She loved being a grandmother and when she talked about them you could hear the smile in her voice
