My Condolences to Jerry and the entire Family. Praying for each of you. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
Though the journey was long, sometimes easy and sometimes hard, we had people like Mrs Gale to get us through. So sorry for your loss.
Greetings to the Cosper, Smith and Young Families:
Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.
I am deeply sadden by the passing of Mrs. Gail, she was apart of my childhood upbringing. After knowing her, for many years, I can truly say, she loved God, she loved people and she loved the Church, especially her place of Worship, Bethel AME Church of Dalton, Georgia. I am thankful for the opportunity, of knowing her and this gentle family. May God give strength, when and where strength is needed.
Much Sympathy, Rev. Devonte' J. Harris Pastor, Saint James AME Church Forth Worth, Texas
To Jerry and the Cosper Family my prayers are with you all in your time of bereavement, Gail was a sweet person may she rest in peace.
