Dear Ron and family, May God hold you up in your time of need. Gail was and is a beautiful person and I am proud to say that she was my sister's very dear friend.

To the family of Gail Schuhrke. Please accept my sincere condolences. My first encounter with Gail was memorable and continued to be thought the years. Gail transitioned from a patient to a friend very quickly and we truly looked forward to the time we spent with each other. She was a great conversationist, a good listener, a caring and compassionate person. She loved people, she loved her family and she loved God. We talked much about spiritual things from time to time but very often during her last few visits. I really miss her. Looking forward to seeing her in heaven.
