My thoughts and prayers have been with all of you since the passing of Gayle. I have only wonderful memories of growing up around the Handley family. Love, Lynne

We are so sorry to hear about the passing of Gayle or should I say "Tiff' as how I knew her best back when she use to babysit me. We are sorry we won't be able to attend her celebration of life, we will be out of the country at that time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Dean and your family.

So sorry to hear of  Gayle's passing,she always had a smile on her face and was so friendly, may God comfort you and keep you in his care.  Judy Hall (Marysville,Wa.

My dear friend Gayle, so many fond memories of growing up with you every Sunday in the 50's/60's at the Nazarene Church in Everett. Even though we lost touch with each other I am so blessed that Facebook reconnected us after so many years and now I have lost you again. I look forward to seeing you on the "other side" my friend.  HUGS

my dear gayle,  where do i even start. i miss you so much. So sad to know i can't jump in the car and go see my dear friend in the hospital and rub her feet, hehe.  The minute we met we became close friends. When you were in the hospital and you took a hold of my hand and said, "my Debbie"  about tore me up it did. I cannot explain i just felt that you were a special person in this world. As i see it you were an angel on this earth, now you are an angel in heaven.  Watching over all of us that had the honor of knowing such a special lady. We never made it to Lynden did we?  We were waiting for you to get well.  You were so special to my heart and i love you so so much. I know we will see each other again. It will be so exciting. I can see you smiling at me now.  Miss you so so much.   Thank you for all the special time we got to have those visits and the rides you took me to anacortes and showed me where you use to live and other rides as well.  love you with all my heart!  So sorry for the family. Such a difficult time.  Debbie Hudson,   your sissy  :)

We met in third grade, were in BlueBirds, neighbors, playmates, and later you babysat my girls. I always remember your big smile no matter what was going on. I cherish the memory of our last lunch at Cristiano's with you in your pink hat to cover your baldness and the biggest smile ever. Through all you went through in your life, honey you were amazingly positive and happy. Thank you for sharing that. Love you.

Am so very sorry for your loss, she indeed was a special person and will be greatly missed.  Of that I am sure.

Gayle I miss you so much,your smile and you were always so bubbly,even when you weren't feeling good,up until the last month or so and then you just wanted your feet rubbed.I will never forget the sweet person you were,until we meet again (HUGS)

Gayle:you lived your life with love and much laughter. You always kept the Lord in your heart and your life reflected that. I will always cherish our growing up years and the fun we shared as kids and teens. Love you so much and will miss you terribly.  Your cousin, Vicki
