Posted on: Tuesday, April 30, 2024I had the privilege of getting to know this amazing lady through Ladies Morning Break at Markham Missionary, where she helped teach me how to do stained glass. We had an immediate connection and friendship and she was always eager to hear about my family and how I was doing. She even helped my daughter do a stained glass piece that Kyra cherishes to this day. We were able to get together a few times outside after the group was over and I immensely enjoyed her company. She spoke of all her family with pride and I loved to see the items she was making for them, she was extremely talented. I told her that I hoped someday to have a space like she had so I could do stained glass at home. Gail made sure I knew I was always welcome to come and we could work together in her home. We’d generally check in with each other over Facebook messenger. One time she even wanted to let me know that the Christmas Cactus I’d given her the first time visiting her home was still alive and blooming again. She wanted to fill my cup and she did just that showing me that she was still happy to have it. She will be missed beyond words, as although we didn’t speak often she always was willing to lend an ear. Sending healing energy to her family and hoping hearing the stories of the impact she had on others will help ease their pain day by day. When I get the chance to do some more stained glass I know she’ll be up there guiding me along. Thinking of you all, from my family to yours, our condolences. Lisa xoxox
