Dear James and Family,
I am so very sad about Gail’s passing. I’ve lost one of the few people who really knows me. Gail was kind, sweet, grateful, caring, understanding, loving, funny…I could go on and on. I regret that circumstances kept me from seeing her much this past couple of years. I’ll miss her for the rest of my life and am so grateful to have had her as a life-long friend. My sincerest sympathy to all who loved her.
I knew Gail in the late 1980’’s. A vibrant woman full of joy and happiness! Rest my friend.
Gail and I worked at Levi Strauss for several years, she was a good friend and a good operator. Sincere condolences, Gerald Koonce
