Gail and I were friends and neighbors who went to school together. I remember her from the seventh grade. We got along real well and we liked to giggle. I think the teacher called us out a few times. We rode the bus together and we both graduated from Parkville High. We went our separate ways after graduation and I lost touch with her when she moved away. Sincere condolences for her family.
