Such a lovely woman and she will be missed. Bob and I have been best friends since High School and still keep in touch. May happy memories prevail and comfort him and his family.

We are neighbors of Bob and Gayleen for years now and close friends. My husband, Marcus and I enjoyed hearing Gayleen’s life stories of her childhood and family. She was a precious soul, who was fully dedicated to her family.
