Gayle was a wonderful person to be friends with. She sang in the choir and played in the bell choir in which I will miss very much. May she rest in peace. Psalm 23

Gayle and Larry meant so much to my mother, Lorraine Frink Howard. Her kind ways were always evident. Gayle's beautiful smile and warm way of greeting others were wonderful traits of hers. My condolences to the family.

Both of my parents thought the world of Gayle. She was such a blessing to the members of FBC during her years of service with Brother Larry.
