Condolences

To the family of Gail. We grew up and were friends over the years. She was a year older than me. I always liked her. When we were teenagers she gave up cleaning a job on strode avenue and I took over the job for several years. The employer was not an easy person to work for. The employer worked at Royal Paper products with my Mother and was her hairdresser too.  Rest in peace Gail.

Gail was a faithful member of St. John's Episcopal Church, Compass. She was special lady who was an activive participant in our church's Bible Study; helped out with Vacation Bible School--she was great with the kids; and gave generously to those in need. It was my great joy to have baptized Gail into the Body of Christ, and I rejoice that she is with Him in Heaven, Yet, her spunky spirit will be missed. Both the People and Pastor of St. John's Church extend our sympathy and prayers to Gail's family and friends. May the Lord comfort you and give you His peace.

We just wanted to share this photo of Gail Smith front and center with St. John's Vacation Bible School Team, when we had great fun hosting "Pandamania" in 2018. Gail was terrific with the children.
