I didn’t know Gail very long. I had talked to her on the phone and I was so impressed that she would talk to a total stranger about the school house that was right across the street from her house.
She was so very friendly and gave me a bit of information about her life there on her farm and the community. She brought a smile to my face many times when we talked. It was only one time that we talked but she seemed to be a very Special Lady.
May she rest in Peace
Gail you are now with Jesus-although we will miss your smiling face and sweet disposition, you will now have love around you forever -love, Fran and Rob Johnson

Condolences to the Dimmick family. We had a common bond, our love of flowers. I’m sure she’s nurturing her flower garden in heaven. May you rest in peace, Gail. Love you.
Our love, prayers, & sympathy to Gail’s family. We had become good friends with Gail at NLCC and had many fun times and conversations at church and during lunches together. We loved her and will miss her. We know her faith was strong, & we celebrate her eternal life with God.
Gail,the last 4 years we became good friends not only at our Church but out side the Church the time we spent having lunch together and sharing so many things that as you always said was our private things that would be ours. The Phone calls every day, Gail I will Miss you with all my Heart, but these are things I will always cherish that mean the world to me and can always be with me.I know you was one Special Lady and that you know how much I Loved you. Forever your Friend. Loma
