I woke up missing you today. I miss sending you the good morning text. Your voice and your energy. I have fond memories of you but the most memorable was our time in the prayer room.  You were so soft spoken honest and caring. Always asking how you could pray for me today. Wanting to know what was going on.  I miss you and love the time we had. It will be cherished for my memory bank. 
Your sister in Christ

Gayle and Gary are both such generous, kind, God-fearing people who have blessed our family greatly throughout the years. Gayle’s generosity and kindness will always be remembered and we continue to lift her family up through the processes of grief. May the Holy Spirit guide every thought, every action, every emotion and they turn to the Great Comfort who knows all.

I only knew Gayle a short time from our Women's Bible Study, but she made an impact on me. The Light of Jesus showed through her joy, compassion, and love for people. She'd share encouraging words and pray for me, even as she faced her own health challenges. I miss Gayle, but take comfort in knowing she's in Heaven now. My prayers for peace & comfort continue to be with Gary and all who love her.

A couple of years ago Gayle asked me to take over Women’s breakfast held at Si Senor’s. I immediately said no! My plate was full. However, after  another 1 1/2 hours, that yes came out. God and a very convincing and determined Gayle had other plans.

She took me under her wing, gave me confidence when I needed it most, prayed with me and opened a door for me to continue to grow my relationship with Jesus. 

For those of you who knew Gayle, you know it was never about her. In fact, if ever in a conversation with Gayle, she would turn it around and make it about you. Gayle made friends with every step she took!

Today I celebrate her life along with all of you who loved her.

I  see her beautiful face and every time I think of her she is walking hand in hand with Jesus helping Him welcome His flock into Heaven. I was honored to have known her. I love you Gayle!

Gayle was an amazing Heroine of Faith!  I met her years ago at our store “Real “Deals”  and from the moment we met we knew we were sisters in Christ.  I can’t even begin to share all the times we prayed for each other, our spouses , children and grandchildren.  We saw so many prayers answered    She was Always smiling, Always positive and always concerned about others over herself.  Even in the last month of her life which was difficult, when I would message her, she would first ask me how my granddaughter Kendall was, who she had been praying for.  Another answered prayer Sweet Gayle.  You were an amazing lady that I was Bleseed to call Sister!   We are praying for you all as we know she is leaving a huge hole, but we know she is with her Savior now❤️❤️❤️

Gayle was such a ray of God’s sunshine. She was beautiful and always knew what to say and what scripture to guide you to. She would call to check on me after my surgery and was comforting to me. I enjoyed our Saturday morning women’s breakfast and worship time together with others. Her smile was beautiful and I will always remember how her eyes sparkled when she spoke about Jesus.

Gayle was one of the loveliest women I have ever met. Her sweet demeanor, warm smile, and love for our Lord and His word were an inspiration. Even when she was suffering herself, she always had a prayerful word of encouragement for me and my husband who has-cancer also.  Praying blessings of peace and comfort for her family and husband Gary
Who she loved so much  and was so concerned about even more than herself! 
Rejoice with me and all in attendance for her joyous homecoming to the Lord Jesus ! Love to all . Jan Coughlin

Gayle was a true example of a Godly women. Kind, loving ,  always ready to listen and always prepared to give an answer full of wisdom and grace. She was the most delicate force for a Christ centered life I’d ever met. I so look forward to seeing this sister in Christ again.  Until then,   peace and comfort  to her  husband Gary and her family that remains.

Gayle was a fierce woman of God who reflected the armor of God in all she did. 
She prayed for everyone and carried others in her heart with such compassion, joy and faith. 
Her strength, love, joy, and devotion will continue to inspire all who knew her.

I first met Gayle at Sagebrush Church. I was fortunate enough to be a part of her Bible Study group for a time. Gayle had a way of sharing Jesus love to others. She could make a person feel loved and special, living a Godly example to others. She provided the Church breakfast for many years. Her beauty will always bring a smile to me. All those who knew her believe she was favored with the ever longing words “Well done good and faithful servant.”

Our sweet Gayle.... you touched us deeply. What a heart you had for loving on others and leading people to a real relationship with Jesus. What a true blessing you were to so many people. I am thankful to call you sister, and look forward to seeing you soon  in the presence of Jesus forever. Tell me, what was it like when your faith became sight! I'm so thankful God allowed us precious time together. Thank you for being a faithful daughter & servant to him. You always, always, always gave. .....  Gary, we love you and will hold you in our prayers. Until we are ALL together again.  💜 Thank you, Gayle & Gary, for loving our family.

My friend Gayle was a bright light that shined for all to see. She shared the love of Jesus everywhere she went. I feel so honored and blessed that God put us in each other's lives. She was a mentor, friend and such an amazing sister in Christ. Every conversation was centered around God, His truth and awesomeness. Such profound faith, peace and joy. I will miss my dear friend and the engaging conversations that promoted such truth, light and love. I can't wait until we meet again as we will be praising, singing and dancing before the Lord in a praise and worship that can never be experienced on this earth....but in heaven ❤️

I loved her heaps and she loved me too.  She was my mentor, my sister in  Christ  and a true friend.   She cared about everyone she met.  She taught me things I should have known already like Jesus died for ALL not just a select few.  I say this because once I asked for prayer because my son was dating a stripper.  She said, "Jesus loves strippers too!" True story. If I was struggling she would rattle off just the right scripture.  We often met on Saturday mornings to have a burrito from  Si Senors just to catch up.  One thing I remember,  it's  kind of off the wall but she wore her socks inside out.  Makes sense right.  The seam doesn't  press into the little toe that way.  Her laugh, her smile, her hugs, her honesty, her way of making everyone feel at home and her unending wisdom will be greatly missed.  We would often say I am Gail with an "i" or I am Gayle with a "y".  Gayle with a "y" I will miss you until I see you in Glory.  Love Gail with an "i".

Gayle was a beautiful sister in Christ and friend to all. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
One afternoon, Gayle invited me over and we had a wonderful afternoon. We talked, we laughed, we even shared a few tears.  
Nia was just a puppy then and she kept Gayle on her toes! 
Everyone who knew Gayle, knew it was normal for her to minister to others and be the hands and feet of Jesus.
Gayle‘s love for God is what brought her and I together. We met at church and we went to  the same Bible Study group. She definitely helped me grow in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior.
I will always cherish and hold, dear the memories of that particular afternoon and when I’m missing her, I will close my eyes and think about how tightly we hugged before I left. 
I’m grateful that she is not suffering anymore and that she is in the sweet hands of Jesus

Gayle was what I call my spiritual mom.  She was my mentor, but so much more.  At a time when I was broken and felt motherless she came along side me and pointed me to The Parent who would never fail me. She poured into me when I didn’t want to be and did it with so much love.  I am so thankful for the time she took.  I am thankful beyond words that God allowed me to be loved by her.  I love her and I hope she knew.

It was a privilege to be Gayle’s friend. She loved everyone & they loved her - her Allergy Clinic patients, the wait staff at Si Senor where she facilitated Women’s Prayer Breakfast, her hairdresser, manicurist, the women in her Bible Studies, & her neighbors.  She was a mentor & life coach & always pointed us to Jesus.  She was devoted to God, to her beloved husband, Gary & to her children & to her friends.  She shared her love of Christian music & the Bible, especially her favorite Psalm 139.  She was an example to us during her illness showing Grace & Dignity & finding great wigs at Arizona Wig Shop & looking beautiful through it all.  She was surrounded by love & leaves a legacy of Faith & Love to her family.  As Believers in Jesus Christ  we will see Gayle in Heaven & be greeted with her hugs & smile.  Our love & prayers to Gary & her family.

She was such a lovely lady. Always a ray of sunshine. She will be greatly missed by so many. Love and condolences to her family. 💞
