Cha, my heart has been broken for both you and myself, Gail came to work at Hughes Spalding Pavilion as a clerical and switchboard operator, I was then supervisor but she taught me so much, she had a memory that was astounding!! Our friendship after leaving the job as you know has been real so to speak, I want to commend you on being the daughter to Gail that she lovers dearly, we never spoke without her mentioning the "puerto rican baby" Gail was so special, I will miss her, you will always be in my prayers.

Dear Sha and Gail I know words don't suffice. I was shocked!! Gail was who I trained to take over the helm At LabCorp. She was the voice and the face as people came in. She did her job so well!!!!! Harvey loved Gail too as do Lena and Zach. No one got by Gail! Literally and figuratively. Thank you Gail for coming into our lives and the lives of all you touched on the phone and in person at LabCorp. To Sha you are strong because you are your mom's daughter. You will always have her. I hope I can be there on Friday. I am comforted knowing she is with all those she missed so much. I hope she and Harvey have come together too!! Rest in peace Gail!! Thank you! ❤️💜
