Gail lit up every room which she ever entered. A gracious, elegant, caring, loving, and beautiful woman, inside and out. A wonderful friend, cousin, and mentor. My heart is breaking for each of you and for our entire family. With profound, eternal love, Janie

Hello Purtan Family. So sorry to hear of Gail's Passing. I had the pleasure of meeting her and serving her while she was being treated at the hospital. I'm happy she is no longer suffering but sad to learn that she passed. I will always remember her smiling face when I would deliver her breakfast, lunch and some snacks on my 8 hour shifts and also had the pleasure of meeting Mr Purtan. Happy Holidays to the whole Purtan Family. Hope Dad stays in good health take care always.

I have great memories of time spent with the Purtan's as a child, and I was blessed to witness the life-long friendship between my mom and Gail. She will be missed greatly.

To all of you:
Our thoughts and feelings are with you all. We fondly remember Gail as a warm and wonderful neighbor and the beautiful family you two raised. The girls were the favorite baby sitters for our kids over the years (Making chocolate chip cookies every home game football Saturday). Always loved listening to your radio show every morning on the way to work. The only comfort is knowing you have such and warm and loving family for support. Judy and Richard Mintz and family

Words often fall short in times such as this. For those of us who are left to mourn, we have the hope, and the promise in God's word that we will be reunited with our loved ones again. May the fond memories of Gail Bring warmth and joy to your hearts until you meet again. John 5:28, 29.
