Gail was the best second Mom anyone could have, she took great care of me along with her own children during a time when my parents both worked. She made the best Pork and beans and Tost ever for lunch. I still make it for myself once in a while for my adult self in remembrance of Her. Hopefully You and mom and Dad and Ed will be enjoying New Years eve at The Gobbler this year together. Love you Always!!!!!
