To Rob, Rhonda, Doug and families, We were so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. We have lots of great memories of her whether it was our years together as next door neighbours or bumping into each other here or there uptown or at community events. She always had a cheerful smile and a few minutes to stop and chat and catch up. We will really miss seeing her around! Our condolences to all of you. Max and Val

I was deeply saddened when I read about Gayles passing. I had the privilege of working with Gayle at Walmart. We would often have lunch together and that's how I learned that Gayle was born and raised in Hanna. She and her parents knew my Grandparents as they had a farm south of Hanna. My sisters went to school in Hanna as we stayed with my Grandparents for awhile. Gayle shared lots of stories with me about her growing up. We even knew the same people there. She was a great lady and will be missed. We will see you again someday my friend. Heaven has gained another Angel...God Bless..your friend Brenda Harris

My deepest sympathies to the family of Gayle. I had the opportunity of working with her for a short time when she and I worked at Wal-Mart. She always had a big smile and a twinkle in her eyes especially when she spoke of her family. I found out that Gayle and I had even a greater connection when she told me she was born in Hanna and her parents knew my grandparents that also lived in Hanna. She knew many of the same people I knew as my sisters and I lived with my grandparents on the farm. We loved to share stories and felt there was never enough time to talk. Gayle was a wonderful lady..she always had strength and determination to get things done. She will be missed. Heaven has gained another angel, we will see you again someday. God Bless you...your friend Brenda

Gayle was such an inspiration. So many tales of endurance events and adventures. I enjoyed swimming beside her and taking advice about the Golden Triangle. She was a force to be reckoned with and I always enjoyed my conversations with her. She will be missed. My condolences to her family.
