Gail lived by the simple yet profound motto:
“Live and let live.”

Her strong spirit, gentle heart, and unwavering kindness made space for everyone to be themselves. She faced life’s challenges with quiet courage and inspired those around her to do the same.

As the Bellamy Brothers sang—lyrics that Gail held close to her heart:
*“Just let your love flow like a mountain stream,
And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams,
And let your love show and you'll know what I mean, it's the season.
Let your love fly like a bird on a wing,
And let your love bind you to all living things,
And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean, that's the reason.
