Woody  We  just read Gayles obituary and saw the touching video,  We remember her especially of her warmth and comfort when she talked about our son Mark and also at the death of my mother and father.  I will always remember attending church with 
you two in Australia on Sunday in Brisbane.  She always shaed faith with me and we talked about prayers for healing for each other,  Love to you and all of your family  Jim and June

My thoughts are with you in this time of  grief.

I prayed for Gayle's healing and God gave her the best healing possible by having her live with Him.  We were like sisters and I will miss her as I know all her family will also.  Sorry to see her gone from us but now she is alive forever.  ....Deannie Hall

Karen: We are saddened to hear of your mother's death. At the same time we know she is worshipping at the feet of her beloved Savior. Our prayers are with you and your family.

So sorry for the loss of your Mother, grandmother & friend.

It is hard to lose a friend and neighbor of 65 years, who taught my daughter in Sunday School and 4-H club.  Gayle was a joy as a member of of our same Sunday School class and we became Charter Members of Gateway the same day.  You were loved by so many, Gayle, and I miss you. Esther Stephens

Dear Woody and family,
So sorry for your loss. It meant a lot to have you and Gayle at George's memorial; if I did not live in Arizona now I would be there. Gayle was a sweet, sweet woman. May the Holy Spirit comfort you and yours.

May God bless you in this time of loss and sorrow. With deepest sympathy.

I am so so sorry to hear of your loss, Jerald. My thoughts and prayers are with you and with your family.

I am so sad to hear of your loss.  I have such fond memories of Ms. Gayle.  When we moved to Indiana from Alabama it was so hard.  She made the transition for my child, Abbey, so easy when starting a new church.  I still have the drawing that Abbey made the first day of her class.  She started drawing sad faces but by the end, she changed them to smiles.  I owe this to Ms. Gayle for making such an awesome impression on my child.  You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
