    Gayle has been apart of the Grandpappy Point Marina lake family for a long time. I sure loved that woman. She was always so happy and in good spirits. She could bring a smile to anybody’s face. Even when she was in pain and going through everything she has went through fighting this. Rest in peace Gayle, I sure will miss you

    I have never met such a cheerful warrior. No matter how much she hurt she was always smiling and pleasant. I greatly admire her strength and courage. Heaven has an awesome angel. Love you Gayle.

    James and Taylor, I was so shocked and saddened to read of Gayle’s passing. I was thinking of her just last week. I had not seen her since she left Virginia Cook Realtors, so I didn’t realize she had been ill. She taught me everything I knew about editing pictures for the agents’ listings, and I will never forget her for that. She was a very intelligent lady and a good friend. Having lost my spouse two years ago, I know the pain you are feeling, and I am so sorry. May the Lord bless you and comfort you. You will be in my prayers.
