I only met Jack’s Mom a while ago at Family Gatherings (Birthdays, Showers, and  Jack+ Lyndzie’s Wedding); I enjoyed meeting her, we had some good conversations, she had a great sense of humor, and we had a good time!  I know she will be missed so very much and she was so Greatly Loved! I’m sending my Sympathy and Love to the Family.💕✝️
Love, MomMom + Great MomMom Carol

Gail will always remain in my heart and mind as a kind and loving person.  How she loved and cherished each member of her family.  May that sustain you all.

Rest peacefully in the arms of God, forever.

December 2016, Denver Zoo Lights.
I really wish I would have had an opportunity to know Gail better.

Visit to the Ricky Mountain Air and Space Museum in December 2016 before I deployed.

So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.     Love, Aunt  Char

When I was 10 my family and I moved across the street from the Tonkin family.  Gail was the first person that greeted my sister, Donna and myself at the school bus stop just up the street from our houses.  We spent a lot of time together during those years.  We all loved to sit out on the curb under the street light that was in front of our houses.  Our parents could always see us out there. It was a great neighborhood to grow up in. Gail & I lost touch over the years and then about 5 years ago, we discovered that we lived practically around the corner from one another,  about a mile apart.   Although, we tried to connect with each other, I am sad to say it just never happened.  She always had a big smile and a really great laugh.  You could never miss her in a crowd with her laugh and her bright red hair.  Rest in peace, Gail.  Condolences to her entire family.

Gail was a big part of my childhood. When I was 12 we moved into Silver Creek and Gail was the first kid to befriend us. She lived a crossed the street from us. Our parents were friends and her father Mr. Bill was the Tastykake man. My father would buy the day old treats and we would have tastykakes in our lunches all the time.  My favorite thing about her was her contagious laugh. Although I have been unable to speak to or contact her for many years I thought often of her and Linda, Amy, Miss Fern and Mr. Bill with fondness. Those were the good old days!! 😢 Prayers for you and your family. 

Gail was my friend although we lost touch for many years we reconnected and talked a few times a year. And then I lost her again. I will share a story. Gail gets a new car and she came to my house in Westview and my father told us not to go far because it was going to snow. Gail and I looked at each other,  the sun was shining, no way it was going to snow. So we went to her cousin's apartment. Well after we were there for a while guess what it was snowing... we left got back to Westview. Mr Bill had to come to our house and follow Gail home. Our fathers were not happy.  I think of you often and the fun things we did. Rest well my friend. I will see you again someday. Below is a picture of Gail (fore front) Linda on the left and me bending over in their back yard.

Gail and I met in the 10th grade and immediately we were friends.  After graduation from Milford, we both worked Downtown for the State.  I then moved to Florida, but she made it down to see me.  Unfortunately, the distance came between us; but years later, we caught up on FaceBook.  I am so sorry to hear about her passing.   Rest In Peace Gail.

Gail, her family and my family (The Beaver Family) lived next door to each other for over 20 years until I married in 1974. My mom and Miss Fern continued to be neighbors for 20 more years, even after my dad and Mr. Bill died. Although I hadn’t seen Gail for a very long time, my sister & I would occasionally take my mom to visit her mom (Ms. Fern) at the assisted living facility in Pikesville.   Unfortunately, we lost contact with the family a few years ago.
Gail and her family were wonderful neighbors.
Our thoughts & prayers are with Gail’s family & the Tonkin family.

Mike, Gloria and I would like to express our deepest sympathies on your loss.   

My memories of Gail are all sweet ones, just like her. She was fun to be around, always laughing. She never looked at me without smiling. Gail was  a terrific mom and grandmother. I have fond memories of her and Mike dancing the jitterbug together and they were good at it. She will surely be missed. My heart goes out to the family. You have my deepest sympathy.
All my love,
Charlene (GiGi)

Knew Gail from the time she was in the 5th grade. She was the first person to welcome my to girls at the Bus stop on Silver Creek rd.  Always very friendly with everyone she met.  We lived across the street for 28 yrs before we moved. Her father Bill was friends with my husband Bill Wineke. Her mom and I were friends also.  God Bless you and your family and Piece be with you.
