First, D.P. and now Gayle. So sorry to hear this. I remember Gayle since I was in The first grade. She was in the second grade. (I was set back in the third grade.) She graduated my sophomore year. Like her brother D.P., she was always a happy person. A very pretty girl too, like her mother. She will surely be missed by all who knew her. My sincere condolences to all of her family.
