From the minute I learned of Gail’s passing, my heart has been broken. Having known Gail’s sweetness and wonderful giving spirit, I have to mourn for the world’s loss. But our loss is Heaven’s gain, for I am sure the heavens opened up and welcomed one of its own, with Jesus ready to receive her as only He could. Her life was a gift and an example to so many people, young and not-so-young (me). Knowing that you – her family – are a family of great faith, I know where you will find comfort. Being a parent, I can’t even imagine the depth of your pain. The good news is that you know where your baby is – and that you will see her again. I have no doubt that your daughter, sister, aunt, and friend heard the words all Christians want to hear the Lord say to us some day: “…well done, good and faithful servant.”
