Gayle was a real joy to be around and such a kind and gentle person. I remember some good times at her house. She passed away so young. I can still remember her smile and laughter. I miss you, Gayle.
Gayle lived down the street from me and we rode bicycles together, went to the public swimming pool, told secrets and laughed until we cried at slumber parties. I never heard her say a bad word about anyone. She was the one friend who was true and loyal to all her friends...the peacemaker.
