Gayle with Bella
Gayle was my little sister. She was the best sister anyone could ever have. She was fun, very intelligent, a loyal friend, a great mom, kind, generous, independent and adventurous. I miss her tremendously. Gayle was an inspiration to all of us fortunate enough to have known her. She left too soon.
Thank you, John, for sharing this memory.
