I know this is so very late, but I only just found out about this today.  I was searching for Gale on Facebook and it brought me to this link.
Gale and I were really good friends.  She introduced my future husband to me.  We are still married after 26 years.  I babysat Ian when he was just a baby.  We traded services - I would do her income taxes for hair cuts and color.  I always enjoyed telling people about her ability to burp the alphabet.  It just seemed so funny coming from such a cute and petite blonde.
We lost touch with each other when she moved to Delaware, but I thought of her often and every time my husband and I reminisced about how we met Gale always came up in the conversation. We had hoped to get in touch with her again to thank her for bringing us together.
Steve, Ian and Zane, I don't know if you will ever see this message, but I want you to know that Gale was a wonderful friend and she will be greatly missed.  You will be in our thoughts and prayers and may the Lord give you peace and comfort.
