"My Dearest Aunt Gale We were unable to be together often, but when we did get the opportunity, it was always a great time full of old stories about growing up with my Momma, and Hezzie. Happiness and laughter would fill the room. I remember you as a pure and sweet soul, that always could put a smile on our faces. You were loved more than you can ever know, and you will be missed dearly. I love you aunt Gale."

"Gale was one of my bingo partners she loved to play but most of all she loved her daughter Virgina we would all go to bingo and we had the best time sitting there and talking and laughing she will be missed. She wanted to be a grandma and she finally got to be one that made her so happy just sad it was cut short. Gale you will be missed. Betty and mark."
