Dear Janet and Johnny,
I have known your Mom and Dad for many, many years. We lived in the same subdivision for a long time and then I went to work in the ESL program at Clarkston Baptist Church. She was such a wonderful Christian lady and so professional in her work with the students and teachers. I was so glad Kelly and I got to visit with her in October. She was an inspiration to us all. I am so sorry for your loss of both your Mom and Dad. God bless you and your wonderful families whom she loved so much.
Love to you from Kelly and Shirlie Sumner

For close to two decades I was able to work at DeKalb Tech. Gail was part of the team that tried to live God's words by serving the neighbor in this work place. Our friendships developed based on use and love and each one of us was better for our experiences. Gail and John will be in our hearts as people who lead lives devoted to The Lord and we are blessed to have been in their orbit. Charis Dike

My sincere sympathy to Gail's family. Gail touched so many people's lives through her work with students learning English at DeKalb Technical College, working with teachers and staff there, and through her work in the church. Our world is a much better place because Gail lived in it. Sincerely, Jo Wolfe
