    Nancy, thank you so much for calling me regarding the death of your mother. We had many good years together. Lots of laughs and stories of raising of raising our children.
    Even though we couldn’t visit , we had one long telephone conversation a year to catch up. I will miss her presence in my life. She was so proud of all of you and spoke highly of all of you

    My Heart is hurting once again at the loss of another Special DHS Friend. I keep my Messenger Year Book close so I can see my beautiful friends. There was a note from Gail for me and it just reminded this old memory of what a sweet wonderful friend she was.
    Please for her entire family know that my Prayers are with you. It is comforting to know that she is with her Soul Mate your Dad Alton, another friend for me. There are so many in Heaven that I am sure they will be having their own DHS 60th reunion and someday because “I Believe!” I will join them
    Love & Prayers
    Dawana Faye Daniel

    My deepest sympathy to all of you in your loss. Gail and Alton were good friends of mine “back in the day.” Alton rode with me in the police car occasionally. I have many fond memories of both of them. Please know I am thinking about you at this sad time.

    Mrs Gail was a big part of mine and Lindsey ‘ life. She took Lindsey under her wing and loved her as her very own. She never failed either of us. She was a great woman. I know the family will miss her very much and that laugh of hers. She had a BIG heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Sorry for your loss.
