Dear Gail & Rogalski Family,
My deepest sympathy & prayers for the entire family. I came to know Gail through my journey in the CHRP group at St Mary's Church, and knew of her's and Bruno's Deep faith that inspired all of us. As I became involved with my other half Jim in St Vincent De Paul I saw even more dedication to those in need which has inspired me to follow this path and walk the journey that the Lord has chosen for us.
All my prayers for your family , may you find peace in your hearts from the love we all feel for you ~
Your Friends in Christ ~

I had the privilege to have worked with Bruno after he retired from the County. What a truly great guy. He lived life the right way. Bruno had a great big heart and a great sense of humor. Above all else, he knew what mattered most - Gail, his kids and his grandchildren. I consider myself lucky to have had the chance to get to know him a little bit. He will be missed.
