Gail introduced me to my husband  39 years ago. I wish she were here to celebrate with us.  Miss her every day.

I will never forget the times I worked as a Actor on shows with Gail. She was a great lady. May she rest in peace.

It was a pleasure to hire Gail to work with me at ABC Sports for Roone Arledge, President ABC Sports and Dick Ebersol, his assistant, who became the greats in the television industry.  Gail went on to be very successful in entertainment and and I moved on to NBC Entertainment.  Gail and I continued our friendship when I moved to work for NBC in Burbank.  We had such fun with our actor friend,  Dennis Burkley, especially listening to the  music and being wined and dined at the Hollywood Bowl.  I returned to NY and our friendship continued for over four decades.  I will always remember our cherished times together.  Gail will always be in my heart and her spirt lives on forever.  

Gail was such an important part of my life. From a small child she was a stepmom and always treated me as her daughter. With great respect I also had the pleasure to have her as my boss. Our friendship grew so strong throughout the years and the love and support Gail showed me was beyond anything I could  have ever asked for. I miss our friendship, love, laughter and even tears. We are all so lucky to have had Gail in our lives. She is greatly missed.

As a child Gail played the role of my step mom and as a young adult we became very close friends and also had the pleasure of working together. I felt incredibly loved by Gail always. Our friendship, our trust, our love , our laughs and even our tears were everything. To say I miss her is an understatement. Anyone who had time with Gail in this lifetime I would say was considered beyond lucky. She is greatly missed and beyond loved!❤️

One of my first jobs as a hairstylist in the was with Gail, who was a 2nd AD on Crisis at Central High. We had a great time and became fast friends. She I geoducks me to my husband, with whom I have been married since 1988. Her passing was far too soon. We miss her every day. 

Gail always had a beautiful smile she was very kind and a beautiful person thanks for being a good friend. You and Matt are wonderful friends and will always be in our hearts forever Jeannie and Vic Fraser 

I just learned of Gail's passing. I'm astonished as she was always the epitome of health when we worked together on Star trek DS9. I remember she was training for a marathon (while working the long hours of a TV show). She was always fun to work with...even keeled, efficient, kind, smart as a whip. I'm truly sorry to hear of her passing. She was something special.  Sending condolences to her family.

Gail was my second assistant director  (I was the first AD) on a TV movie we shot in Denver, CO. In the late 80’s. She was tireless and nothing rattled her. 
She made my experience on that project a much better one.  I am so sorry to hear of her passing. RIP Gail.
