It’s been very comforting reading all these testimonials for my sister, just know that in reading what all of you have written has put a smile on my face. Thank you. Not only was she a loving mother to Kevin, she was a strong advocate for him at his schools, I know she loved Tom dearly and will be greatly missed. My condolences to you both. Gail was also a great sister and friend; about 2 or 3 times a year I would receive what I referred to as a ‘care package’, This box would include such items as clothes, make-up and books. I would take this up to my room to open and go through privately. As some of you may know, our family had something of a ‘quirky’ relationship with regards to what we called each other, we all had little nick-names in our family, me and Gail would call and refer to each other as ‘spoofie’ – however, when I did something extra good she’d say ‘I’ve taught you well little grasshopper’, and she’d have the same expression on her face as the one in the above picture. Did we butt heads - hell yeah but we never stayed mad with each other for long. I know there’s so much more I can say about her….I will miss you terribly, forever in my heart, love you Spoofie, sleep well –

Cuz’n Gail, you kept the family communication and updated all with your pages of questions and answers! If I needed info on anyone you were our memory keeper and celebrated everyone’s milestones… even reminding the rest of us about upcoming events we had not realized ourselves. At one point I had convinced myself I was a year younger than I was and Gail had to convince me of the error of my ways (& my math). I remember laughing anytime she was moving because she refused to let go of her beloved books and all things purple. She always moved to keep up with the latest and best supports for her family and was a fierce advocate for Kevin. I always could rely on a birthday card , Christmas and Thanksgiving updates with a family photo, and congratulations for any events that may have occurred. I’m going to miss her lengthy emails and unending questions. Tom, Kevin and Diane - I am so sorry for the too soon loss of Gail in your lives.

Gail and I met in grade nine when we were 14 years old. I sat in front of her in history class and we spent alot of time passing notes to each other under our seats ,like the typical teenage girls we were .
Her family moved to Ajax when we were 16 and back then it was a long distance charge to phone and at 16 that was a big deal . We kept in touch with letters, nice LONG letters and would meet up a couple of times each summer at The EX.
After a while , life happened and we lost touch . Our birthdays are 10 days apart , Aug 18/ Aug 28 and when our 40th was approaching Gail contacted my mom to find out where I was etc and sent me a birthday card and yes ...a nice LONG letter ...we were back in touch since then .
The last several decades we would send each other a box of gifts, mostly gag gifts at our birthdays. I always looked forward to getting this and reading all the humorous notes she attached....knowing full well I could get her back even better since I could play off some of what she sent and send back my own zingers. I had alot of fun with this and will miss Gail dearly .
My sincere condolences to Tom ,Kevin and Diane

Some memories of my Dear Niece Gail (or Gailo as we called her) from Aunty Doris.
My sister Norma Cairns (RIP) and husband Evo (RIP) emigrated to Canada with their two young children many years ago. Their early years were spent here in Toronto. We visited often and seen the girls grow into fine young ladies. We had happy times always spending Christmases together and at other events.
Gail's Mom, Norma (RIP) passed away in 1994. After that Gail kept the family together by hosting many parties, Birthdays/Christmases etc.
Sometime later Gail and family decided to locate to New Brunswick. They were sadly missed.
Gail devoted the rest of her life in the long-time care of her dear son Kevin, who needed the extra care and who will miss her terribly. Sincere Codolences Tom. Doris.
