My Deepest Condolences to the Swift Family. I’m in total shock about Gail’s passing. I just learned another friend of ours Brenda Schuetta passed on the same day. The three of us went to Park but Gail and I go all the way back to Winslow Elementary. She was truly a beautiful person inside and out. We went to Starbuck together and Park. Our first jobs together was at Burger King. Wowww, I’m truly going to miss Gail. Until we see each other again, Fly High My Dear Friend. I Love You 💕💔💔💔

My deepest condolences to Gail’s family. She and I went to Winslow Elementary School together. We reconnected about 5 years ago on social media. I appreciated being able to catch up with her and see through her posts what a kind and loving caregiver she was. May she rest in peace.
