I am very saddened to hear about Gails passing my deepest condolences to family and friends. The pain of losing a loved one is indescribable and sometimes we may feel like we are alone. Psalms 34:18 assures us that “Jehovah is close to the broken-hearted and he saves those who are crushed in spirit.” God would like for you to to reach out to him during this time of sorrow and he will comfort you. I will I Clyde you in my prayers.
I am very sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss. Sending our love and prayers.
We are thinking of all of Wayne and Gail’s families with sympathy, love, and heartfelt prayers. The memorial video is beautiful and such a loving tribute to Gail. Glynn and I have so many great memories of Gail during visits in Lisbon, holiday visits, and family reunions. I am so glad that we got to see and visit with Gail last summer at Leonard and Darlene’s. Chatting with Gail was a delight!
So very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
We had daughters the same age, got to know her through school activities, and we attended the same church together. She was a very nice lady.
So sorry for your loss, you are in our thoughts and prayers.
My sympathy to all of you girls and your families. May God comfort you in the death of your Mother. Beverley Duval

Your mom and I were already pros at birthing …(well your mom was). Class # 1 and the men caved and your mom and I continued the class while your dad and Russ dropped us off and they went to the Creamry for coffee till class # 2 thru 4 was over……That was special and we laughed many times over at the faint of heart dads they were!
