Lynda,
My mom and dad gave me the obituary for Gail. I remember your sister so well. I always thought of her as the most beautiful and kind person. When we were hanging out at your house, I was in awe of her. She had this long blond hair and was so glamorous. I am sorry I was not able to take time off work to make it to the funeral. I was thinking of you!
Take good care,
Your friend,
Diane
