I was friends with Gail the last 20 years, after meeting as Replacement Teachers in Elizabeth.  She was such a sweetheart, and always lifted me up when I was feeling down. She always had wonderful things to say about Ivy and Scott.  The last time I saw  Gail was after she called me up and said you have to come see me, but I moved. I was taken aback when I read the sign that said Memory Care as I pulled in the parking lot, but there she was waiting for me at the front door. We had a lovely visit, but before I left she had me take her to the store to buy chocolate covered cherries, hair dye, and of course, the infamous pink lipstick! Our last words to each other were I Love You, and although that visit broke my heart, I am glad I have the memory now. I will cherish her kindness and friendship always.

I met Gail in September 2000 and I can remember how nervous I was about starting teaching in Elizabeth as a Replacement Teacher. Gail reassured me that everything was going to be "OK"; and it was. Her kind reassuring words gave me the encouragement I needed to hear. I shall miss her dearly  as will everyone else whose life she touched. May she rest in peace with her contagious smile.

Gail and I were Replacement Teachers together. She was always smiling and happy. I am glad we had some time to spend together, Gail.  Rest in peace, my friend. You will be missed by many.........

Gail and met on the first day of orientation at Elizabeth as replacement teachers.  My daughter was so excited that I had a Jewish friend.  When she saw a Hanukkah bear in Kohl's she had me buy it for Gail.  Gail was a great person and I am very sad about her death.  She is now lighting up heaven with her smile.  

Gail and I met about 25 years ago at Ivy League Day Camp. She was the leader of the very young children and I did the music and movement program. We had an immediate connection/friendship which lasted the past 25 years. Gail recommended me for the music position in Elizabeth NJ and upon her suggestion I had the most amazing career. It was all due to Gail!!!!  Gail and I worked the creative summer arts program together for many years carpooling everyday. We had so much fun together.  She was always bubbly and adorable.  She was the kindest most thoughtful person there was. She made everyone around her happy.   Gail.....I will keep you in my heart forever ❤️

I knew Gail as a replacement teacher.  She was always funny and talked about her boyfriends.

I worked with Gail in Elizabeth in the public schools for about 17 years. She was always fun to work with and a wonderful teacher and woman. Dale and I visited her in Forsgate and Gail smiled and I believe she recognized Dale. Too young to be gone.
