Posted on: Saturday, February 12, 2022I met Gale through my pet’s FB about 4 years ago. Of course being Gale we instantly became friends. We exchanged Christmas cards every year. She even sent me some crazy socks one year. She told me about the stained glass hangings in her window and when my pet passed away I got a beautiful one from her. She was always thinking of others. I will never forget the pictures of the cabin. She would send them to me and ask what I thought about the colors she was painting the walls. The cabin looked like a magical place. While I will never have the privilege of meeting Gale in person, she did touch my heart and I will always be glad, proud to say she was my friend. I will be praying for Mark and the rest of the family to find peace during this difficult time and in the days to come.
