Aunt Gail has been such a wonderful part of our lives, I can't even express how much she has meant to me. She is the one I am named after. Anywhere we went together she always had a way of cracking us up, whether we are shopping, at the beach, or even the saddest of times, she has always been by our sides. Always loving, laughing, hugging, just being the best Aunt you could ever ask for. We loved every minute with her. Her sense of humor is undeniable, her love and generosity incomparable. She has touched our lives in so many ways, and was there for us so many times. She will be dearly missed, my heart is broken. We love you Aunt Gail! My thoughts and prayers go out to you Ronnie, Craig and Joe.

Ronnie we are so blessed you married our sister. You were her rock. It is so comforting to know how much you loved each other. She made laugh even when we were crying. I can hear her now saying "Hey sugar". She made everyone feel so special. Gail, you are and always will be our guardian Angel. We are at peace knowing you are with our Lord watching over us. It goes without saying we miss you terribly 💔. Love to you, Ronnie, Craig, Joe and all your family. Judy and Dave PS: Gail, David wants to know if they accept Collect Calls in heaven?

Someone gave this to me, I know that Gail would have this in her thoughts and want to say it to her love ones. "When tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand. And said my place was ready in heaven far above, and that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love. But, as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye, if I could reline yesterday, just ever for awhile, I'd say goodbye and kiss you all. And maybe see you smile. So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're for apart, for every time you thing of me, I'm right here in your heart. " Gail

Ronnie, my deepest sympathy for the loss of your sweetheart! My heart is broken! She was the sister I never had! She truly had a heart of gold and is now walking the streets of gold with her mom, dad and Bo! She was my sidekick on our journeys to see Jamie ,Charlotte and to Houston and Conroe to see Bo! Oh how I enjoyed her company! I wouldn't have made it without her! She is my Sister-in-Heart ❤️ I Love You, Gail Marie!!

So sad to hear about the passing of Gail. Gail was such a loving person and had the special knack of making you feel like you were indeed "special" to her. I remember Gail fixing my hair and makeup for mine and Judy's Junior Year High School pictures. My hair was REALLY, REALLY, BIG and I had enough makeup to last a week. Gail and I laughed so hard but I wore it proudly. After many years of not staying in touch, I talked to Gail this past November. It was like we had never lost any time. She was happy and could not say enough about how wonderful Ronnie had been to her. She said he was her "angel" and that she had truly been blessed. We were all truly blessed to have had Gail in our lives. She will be greatly missed. My thought and prayers are with you all. Jan Theriot Tomlin

Ronnie, I think you said it best on Saturday. They broke the mold when Gail was born. She was SO sweet, kind, funny, could always make me laugh, and a Great cook (best dirty rice and boiled shrimp). She is going to be missed very much. We have so many great memories with Gail. One of my favorite memories of Gail is when Gail and mom were dancing at our old house to "Is it raining at your house like it's raining at mine ". We will miss you SWEET Gail.

I have never met anyone like Gail, and I don't think I ever will. She treated me like family from the very beginning. Gail and Ronnie opened their house to us and always made us feel welcomed. We loved spending time with them. It was always the best food, the best time, and the best company. She was the kindest spirit with the purest heart and I am a better person for having known her. You couldn't be around her without laughing till you cried. Gail, some of my fondest memories are times my family spent with you. I love how you loved Ronnie, your kids, your grandkids, and all of your family. I love how special you made my kids feel. They could not get enough of their Aunt Gail or Aunt Dale as Dylan would say. We are here looking at pictures of you inside a blow up toy with the kids and we are cracking up laughing just like old times. Although our hearts are breaking, I can't help but smile when I think of you. If I had to guess, you are probably making all the angles laugh right now as I write this. We will miss having our sweet Gail here with us and we will cherish your memory until we meet again. Love you! Terri

I feel privileged to have ever known you Gail Marie and even better you were my aunt. You always made me feel special and if you know her you know this. Everyone always said that you were an angel and know we know it's true. Ronnie,Craig and Joe there's nothing I to make it better but she sure made it better for us when she was here. Love you always your nephew Paul.
