Jenny & Don,
What a long rough journey for you both.
You are truly special people to have taken the road with Gail. You loved, supported, and cared for her the whole way.
She was so lucky to have been able to share her life both in good and bad times with you.
What a special woman she was!
I hope you find comfort knowing she is finally at peace and how blessed she was to have had you in her life.
Terri
