Today marks the second year you have been gone Mom. They say it gets easier with time but I don't believe that to be true. Everyday I look to your grand daughter Kinsleigh and think what life would of been like if you were still here. You would be so proud of the mother I have become and the daughter that I am raising today. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you and remember your time here on earth. All my childhood memories, my adult memories, and of course our silly disagreements that mean absolutely nothing now. Just know that you were always right and I am who I am today because of you! We try to live the best way we can without you but there is a huge hole in our lives because you're not here. I will love you for always my mother you'll be. Love your dearest daughter Chrystal Gail! Xoxo

Today is a very sad day for me. As look at my beautiful daughter and wonder how much life would be different if you were still on earth with us I am grateful that you were able to meet her before you passed. I am not very good with words just expressing how I feel. I find dimes all the time, and I know its you who is telling me you're still here watching over us. Please know that I miss you and Love you like no other. Please give Grandpa's, Grandma's, and friends up there in Heaven a hug from me. Till we see each other again your daughter Chrissy! Xo

Almost a year after Gail's death, I found out about it by accident. I am very sad. I only met you both twice in my life, but my feeling was like having two friends. We say: "Time heals all wounds". I hope it will be the same with you. Surely you will experience great support from your family. I wish you the best and Gail Peace, wherever she is.
Your friend Klaus

Hi Bruce,
fast ein Jahr nach Gails Tod, habe ich durch Zufall davon erfahren. Ich bin sehr traurig. Ich habe euch beide nur zweimal in meinem Leben getroffen, aber mein Gefühl war so, als hätte ich zwei Freunde. Bei uns sagt man:"Die Zeit heilt alle Wunden". Ich hoffe, dass es bei dir auch so sein wird. Sicher erfährst du große Unterstützung durch deine Familie. Ich wünsche dir das Beste und Gail Frieden, woimmer sie auch ist.
Dein Freund Klaus

Today is a hard day for me, I woke up crying. Thinking of all the pain you must have went through for so many years. I have so many questions and wish that you would have told us what you were going through so we could of helped with support and love. I miss you Mom and I don't understand why you had to die so young. I hope you're up in heaven watching over us, especially Dad who is truly heartbroken from losing you. I love you and I hope that I will make you proud of the person I am and the mother that I have become. Love always Chrissy! Xoxxo

I am so sorry to see Gail leave.
A bright spot in Bruce's life, Gail was always a caring concerned friend.
I will miss seeing and talking with Gail upon my visits to see Bruce.
A;ways one to speak her mind, Gail & I always had interesting visits.

Im not even sure how to begin this message. Or how to express my feelings right now. I was so privileged to have met you guys through Noel (Joe). I HAVE A STORY TO TELL.... Growing up as a teen if I ever needed (well lets be honest, I needed Bruce) I could come by any time with car troubles but I always knew that I would be leaving feeling more powerful then when I arrived. While Bruce would fix my car, I spent many hours in the living room or kitchen, listening to Gail talk ;) and she always made me feel I should be more strong, confident and proud then I was. She could talk and talk (as everyone knows) but I always had no problem listening to her for hours. If she felt I had stopped listening she always brought my attention back ( I may have drifted off more then once lol). I remember once Gail was really mad at Bruce as he had taken the draw string from the living room curtains to use as a throttle cable for my Skoda, in case it broke down again (it did). I remember her scolding Bruce and then when he went back out to the garage, she turned to me and said that she was ok, because it was me. She said that I was to listen to Bruce's instruction and think of HER opening the curtains manually, while I was using the string to drive my car. She always made me feel welcome and STRONG and I loved her for that. Any time I open a blind or curtain with a drawn string Bruce and Gail come into my thoughts. Rest in peace Gail, you will be missed by many!! love kim

It’s hard to forget someone who gave you so much to remember: I was honoured to call you my friend Gail for the past 36 yrs. I met you through Peter who worked with Bruce at Sentie's in Hinton~ just about the time that Chrystal was born. I too kind of felt intimidated by you at first as I was quite a shy/quiet kind of gal. But as I got to know you I grew to admire the person you were. You taught me so much in life like how to be a strong person and how to stand up for myself and how to have confidence in myself. I will forever be grateful for all that I learned from you. You we're more than my friend you were my family... I can't thank you enough for taking me under your wings and into heart and treating like I was part of your family. I can only say I am the person I am today for knowing you.
I am so glad we got the chance to talked recently for well over an hour catching and sharing some laughs. I will treasure that and the last words you said to me "I love You Sweetie" ...
I will hold you in my heart forever ♥ Thanks for your beautiful friendship... I will treasure it always.
I will miss you more than I can say...
Rest In Peace my dear friend ~ I love you.
To Bruce, Shannon and Chrissy… You are in my thoughts and prayer. Treasure your memories and Gail will live on in your heart forever.
I love you all dearly and I am always here for you till the end of my days…
All My Love Rochelle xox
