Thinking of Blake, Vanessa, and the entire family during this incredibly difficult time. I’m truly grateful I had the opportunity to meet Gail.

Darrin, LeeAnn and Deb. Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your beloved Mama. She was a sweetheart of a lady and she will be missed. I used to love chatting with her in at Extendicare. Rest in peace, Gail.
Gail had a beautiful garden where she maximized the landscape including the banks of the river that ran through it and welcomed visitors to come and have a looksee. She was a very active member (as was her mother) of the Cobourg Horticultural Society and often submitted cultivar exhibits entries and flower arrangements in the flower shows and regularly contributed baked goods for the meeting refreshments. She was a friendly soul and I am sorry to learn of her illness and passing. My sincere sympathies to Blake and all of her family members.

Blake,Diane and Family. It is with great sadness i have learned of Gail's passing. We shared good times at GF over the years as well after we retired. Your time has come to rest in peace 🙏 Always my friend 🧡 Mary.
With my deepest sympathy to Gail's family. I have known Gail since I was a very little girl ... my parents (Marg and Mike Waller) and Gail's parents (Barb and Ray) were great friends all their adult lives. I was quite a bit younger than Gail, but she and my older sister Gwen (who died Jan. 6th this year) were about the same age. I remember the one and only camping trip when our two families went camping together in our matching, newly purchased, very large orange tents. Gwen and Gail were reluctant teenagers who hadn't wanted to go camping... our Dad's set up our tents, unfortunately in a "dip" in the campsite - ... a bad storm came during the night and both tents were under about a foot of water by the next morning! Gail and Gwen, I remember, were extremely unimpressed by the whole thing. As a 7 year old, I thought it quite an adventure as we got to go into town for breakfast while the tents and everything in them dried out. I hope this humorous little story will bring some cheer into these very sad days... My thoughts are with you all - it's so hard to lose your Mom/Grandma/Sister. Brenda (Waller) Quinn
Dear Blake and all of Gail’s family I’m terribly saddened to hear of her passing and send much love and condolences to you all. I was fortunate to have met her thru my time as a meat cutter with Blake and I remember how much she loved her family . Rest peacefully Gail xo
