I am sorry to hear about your loss. I was part of the Kendallville congregation, I grew up there and had the pleasure of knowing Gail. She always had a smile and hello, from the time she was little. May Jehovah offer all of you comfort and care during your time of grief.

I knew Gail as a ballroom dancer and many times I was fortunate enough to compete against her. During those times I got to see the determined competitor she was as well as the big heart and lots of love that she had for her family and friends. Many prayers for all that will miss her.
