I'm so sad to lose my sister in law and friend. I have known you since I was in 8th grade. We lived together the year you had Michael. We would sit on the floor and play Jack's and pick up sticks while you were in labor before going to the hospital. We loved going dancing together. We watched our children grow up to become beautiful adults. We cried and laughed together. Gaylene encouraged Mike and I to be together. I will miss you so much!

Gaylene and I were inseparable during 8th and 9th grade. Summers were great, as we would tag along with Mike. She as a wonderful friend then, but high school saw us moving in different directions. We renewed our friendship on FB several years ago after I became widowed, yet again lost teach during the past 2 treated. She played an important part in helping me grow up those years and I will always remember her fondly. My heart and prayers are with her family. Deb
