My Thoughts are with you all. Never good by, It's so long for now until we meet again. I spent may days and nights with Gayle and Oli in Memphis, Tenn. We would laugh and play cards and hell we couldn't wait to get back to Canada lol. If you knew Gayle you would know why. You will be missed - Posted by: Robert Bishop (Family ) on: Jul 05, 2017

Gayle or Auntie Gayle is what we called her, and has been in all of our lives from the beginning. She was a dear friend to our Mom, Lorraine and the last touchstone. Auntie Gayle babysat us when we were little. She shared many funny stories of yesteryear. She was the keeper of lost history, or history we didn't know and filled us in when we asked. Auntie Gayle was a wonderful cook. I know she was lovingly welcomed "home" by those who went before her. Auntie Gayle will be missed but forever connected through heartstrings. Rest in Peace Auntie Gayle. Love, Light and Grateful Daria, Horace and Lawna - Posted by: Daria Kajda (friend) on: Feb 27, 2017
