I will really miss seeing Gayle on my visits to Colorado Springs...and even when I did not see her for a long time, we just always picked up where we left off...I always referred everyone to her to have their hair done in the perfect manner that only Gayle was capable of...and when I set off for Hollywood years ago, it was Gayle that always said Jane...you can do it! That was her mantra...teaching others to have the faith and strength to believe in themselves as she believed in them..You taught us alot and those lessons will not be in vain.....we will always love you for just being Gayle!

I am truly devastated to learn about Gail's passing. I will miss her smile, her laugh, her candid remarks about everything, and her invaluable advise. I will miss our outings together - the dinners, the shows, and the trips to Cripple Creek. While not as often as we both would have liked, they meant a lot.
My sincere sympathies to her family, especially her daughter and grandchildren, who were the lights of her life.

What an incredible memorial for a beautiful woman.....Gayle, you will live on in the hearts of many, including mine. The Lord used you in mighty ways to touch the lives of everyone you met. Your compassion and kind words were like no other. I will always remember your smile....you could light up the room! And that laugh, how contagious was that? And your heart to serve those less fortunate....I was one of those! Then God blessed you with talent to create a masterpiece with hair! My family will miss our talks and your prayers. Prayers go out to the beautiful family missing you here....All I can say is see you later my dear friend!

Gayle was the first new friend I met when I moved to Colorado thirteen years ago. She fixed my hair for my aunt's wedding and from then on she was the only one I would let get near my hair with scissors or color. She was a friend as well as a part of our family. We shared so many laughs and tears. My prayers go out to her family and friends because I know what a huge void her absence has left in your lives and hearts. I am not sad for Gayle, she has gone on to the next level and i am sure she is shining brightly. Gayle, I will miss you.

Gayle was a wonderfulk person. We had known her for about 30 years. She was a neighbor for quite a few of these years. She couldn't swim in our park pool but Trina did. I took Trina to work several times. Gayle appreciated this very much as she did not know how to drive at that time. Her untimely death is a reminder that death can happen unknowingly at any time. She will be deeply missed, along with her outgoing personality and her delightful laugh.

Gayle was a very real person, and so much fun to be around. We shared some crazy times. She was my Kenny Chesney buddy. Gayle and I danced just last weekend at my brothers wedding. She will be missed, but she will be in our memories always. I love you Gayle.

Galyle touched so many lives. She had the biggest heart and cared for all living things. The calls I would get from her just to see how the kids & I were doing were aprreicated more than she could ever know. Gayle will be missed by so many ... hearing about her passing broke my heart, but I know that she is watching over all of us now ... rest in peace my friend.

Gayle, you were like family to us and yet like a good friend too! We love you and miss you so much. Thank you for all you did for our wedding just a couple days before the accident. We cannot tell you how much you were appreciated! This world was far brighter because of you. We love you!

I will never forget Gayle's warm smile and hug I received when coming into the salon, not to mentioned her infectious laugh. I will always cherish her friendship. All my thoughts and prayers go out to her family and Frank and Kelly during this difficult time.

Gayle had the kindest heart I've ever known, and she was always there with her love and support. I used to joke with her that she made me look like a diva after a styling! What fun we had together going to the jewelry mart and all of our other outings outside of the salon, shopping, eating sushi, going to the Blue Star. I will miss our friendship so much. Gayle, I will always remember you.

Trina, Pat, Robin, Shannon, Madeline and Gayle's other family and loved ones:
Gayle was a bright light in this world; thank you for sharing her with the rest of us. Many people talk about the Lord, but Gayle walked His walk--with compassion, grace, love and mercy for everyone. While this world will never again be as bright, her light shines on in each of you.
Love,

I knew Gayle for about 15 years. No matter where I lived, I traveled all distances to have Gayle do my hair! She was the only stylist I ever had who I didn't have to say a word when I sat in the chair and she would let the scissors do their job...and it always turned out perfectly! I will miss Gayle as my stylist and more importantly as a friend. She was a very special person and will be missed greatly. I'll cherish the memories forever. Condolences to her family...she talked about you all so much...Rest in peace my friend!

My dear friend. How I will miss your smile, laughter and confindences. I will miss our trip to Pueblo to the Farmer's Market. You touched everyone that met you and it was not possible for anyone that did to find anything but joy in your presence! My heart goes out to your family, Frank and Kelly. What will your mom do without you? What will I? I am so glad we never parted without a hug and "love you". I know you are in peace, and that is where I can find what little comfort there is.

I loved Gayle - for years Gayle styled my hair, my husband's, my daughter's, daughter-inlaws and grandchildren's hair - we became good friends - we would laugh and cry together and talked at length about the strength the Lord has given us - there is no doubt in my mind that Gayle is with the Lord right now and has no more sorrows only joy and love - for that I am grateful - but what a loss to the rest of us who must remain until we join her in heaven - you are missed Gayle - I feel blessed being your friend
