Enjoying the beautiful view August 2015.  

Miss you, Love you Gail. 

Gail, you and Rob came to our home to dinner for the first time some 25 years ago. Rob and my late husband Richard were cousins who hadn’t seen each other for many years. Neither we nor you knew quite what to expect, but your warmth and humor then and throughout the coming years, soon sealed you both in our hearts as treasured additions to the Eckstein family. So many cherished memories will be with me always. Rest in peaceful sleep dear friend. I hope you and Dick have a word!

Gail & I had the same birthdate so we would celebrate it together every year.  Sometimes we went out for a fun lunch or breakfast, like here where we are enjoying ourselves at the Kitchen Witch in Monmouth Beach.  Sometimes we did the VNA house tours; and sometimes we just hung out together.  No matter what we did, we loved celebrating together.  XOXO Jody Sackett

Since we were 11, you were always a big part of my life. You were the friend I could count on for a new adventure, a supportive ear, a good laugh, and an informed opinion. We could even discuss the merits of flavored seltzer for hours. You will always hold a special place in my heart. Missing you dear friend…..love Raya

So many memories of wonderful times spent together. You will always have a special place in my heart. Love you Gail❤️
Raya

Gail, you're one of my dearest friends and an amazing soul. SO many memories over our thirty-year friendship, between work and life. Our travels afar, our short films, our pets and your doting on our son. Here's one fun memory at the Racetrack a decade ago. Love you, Gail. I just know you're out there somewhere. xoxo Micki
