Gayle, I was your friend at Monterey Village and a long-time practicing player at your evening crossword puzzles! You played the key role, always in charge and on-top of everything!

My condolences to the family & friends of Gayle Sewell. She was an amazing woman and an unforgettable nurse educator. Just today I used the words "It would BEHOOVE you to know ...." with my own students. Anyone that ever sat in her classroom can still hear her voice in their head I am sure. She will be missed.
