  • How lucky to have met such a person like Gail. To me Gail was a friend and many times a teacher. Most of all, I will miss her wisdom, her humor, her laugh and her compassion. Gail's gift of the written word inspired me to do and be better and often comforted me. I have many many cards, letters and e-mails Gail sent to me over the years that I have kept as treasured memories of our friendship. They serve now as a reminder of how precious and rare Gail really was...and also what a difference one person can really make in your life. Take Care my friend the pain is gone. Clay, wishing you the peace and calm inside you so deserve. With my deepest sympathy Karen. - Posted by: Karen Miller (Friend from Edmonton) on: Apr 09, 2012
