Condolence: Gayla will be fondly remembered as childhood playmate, friend and classmate. Her smile and gentle soul some of her greatest attributes which were many. Our sincere condolences to her sisters, children and all who were lucky enough to have known such wonderful woman.

Condolence: Oh, Mike, how this breaks my heart, so I can only imagine how much it breaks yours and your children's! I had no idea she was so ill or had cancer for so long. I really would have loved to see her at one of our reunions. I was always very fond of her, and her obit is just beautiful - right on the money! She had tremendous dignity, class, grace, poise, beauty and love. One classmate said she was probably the sweetest girl in our class, and I would certainly agree. Please know many of her classmates are reeling from this and hurt for you, Matthew and Mariah!
