Gail and I were "forever friends" for over 40 years, and she will always live in my heart along with all the good memories we made together. She was a very special lady--as evidenced by the fact that she had a soft spot in her heart for animals, children, and the elderly. She was a feisty lady with a strong commitment to fairness, she was a true advocate for the "underdog", she had a great sense of humor, and she will be missed by so many people--and by George (her kitty) and by Muffy, by Bear--and especially by her little Peanut.
