Cousin Gayle Lyn was my morning playmate growing up in our modest neighborhood in Akron, Ohio. While all the other kids slept in during the summer days, Gayle Lyn was always out the door early in the morning like myself. Photo is approximately 1965.

You have been on my mind a lot lately.  The friendship we had, the only thing that carried me through high school (I hated school).
Remembering you as I turn 64 today❤️‍🩹 We took off to Arizona after graduation.  Your mom and dad were always there for me, I will never ever forget. I missed you terribly when I left to go back to Ohio  and still do. Fly high my friend I love you forever and always🥰

To Eddie and the entire family, I just heard of Gayle's passing. I very much enjoyed working with her for eleven years at JBS, and I considered Gayle not only a colleague, but also a good friend. She was an extremely dedicated worker (too much sometimes - I had to rope her in on occasion), but she had a keen sense of humor to keep the mood light. She was an immensely  caring person, and I know she loved her family dearly. I hope for the best to all her loved ones.

To My favorite Aunt , Aunt Gayle Lynn, thank you for Always loving me throughout my life as me, Kelly Kline. Your niece, and brother, Ronald Gale Kline's Daughter. You taught me what Unconditional Love is and what an Honor it is to have a last name as Kline. You also gave me an amazing Uncle, Uncle Eddie. Our family memories of camping, baking, Christmas's, cats, country life , good taste in music, like Fleetwood Mac and so much more.  I am so grateful for the time we shared especially this past year. I Love You so Much! Survivors left on your side, And your brother, Ronnie, are your great niece, Niki Jones-Kline, her son Landon Jones, your great-great nephew.  May you be at peace, and with your parents and brother up in Heaven! Love you.. Kelly Kline
