I worked with Gail at Christa McAuliffe. No matter what was going on, she was always ready with a smile and a joke. I miss her so much.

I will miss our dedicated, friendly, hard-working colleague. I worked with Gail since 1997 and could always count on her to do a bang-up job and solve all of our custodial issues. She really took pride in her work and I will dearly miss her kind and friendly ways!

My prayers go out to her family. I also worked for the School District for many years. Our paths crossed numerous times over those years. She was a great lady always fair but firm. Treated the kids at school as her own.
