"Bill & Jennifer, I am so sad to hear about Gayle. She was such a sweet person and a pleasure to work with on ortho. Life brings tears, smiles, & memories. The tears dry, the smile fades, but the memories live on forever. May you find comfort in your memories.... My thoughts and prayers are with you....
