I worked with Gail at Glens Falls Hospital during her employment there. She was a wonderfully devoted and caring nurse. We had a great team and worked great together. Her patients loved her and the nursing world was a better place having had her in it. Rest in peace Gail. God Bless her family. Bonnie
Growing up with Gail was so much fun. She was a good friend and over the years we would meet and talk about the good times just like they happened yesterday. Connie, Tim and family, I hope her laugher and humor comfort you at this time. She is at rest without pain and probably having a good laugh with my mom now about the time she sled down the hall stairs on her ass and mom thought the roof was caving in! Peace be with all of you at this time. I’m thinking of you all and praying for you.
