Hello Chris & Family; I'm so sorry to hear of your beloved Gail & her passing. It's been a very long time since we seen each other but my thoughts & prayers are with you & your family! Take care & God Bless you & your loved ones!!

Dear Chris,
Although I have not seen you for many years, I have fond memories of our many years together at Illinois Bell Telephone, and the many short moments I spent after work at your home in West Lawn . Gail was always joking and kidding around with us. It was a happy time for all.
Now, she is watching over her family from her heavenly home.

Thank you for all those happy memories. Hope to see you again one day.

Chris, God Bless you and your family during this difficult time. We will keep all of you in our prayers.

Dear DiBenedetto Family,

We were so very saddened to hear of Gail's passing. We both worked with her for many years. She was a great lady and we loved her.

We live in Arizona now, so we can't pay our respects in person, but Gail and your family are in our prayers.

May loving memories comfort you now and always.

With deepest sympathy,

Suanne & Ray Humbert
