Gailor and I counseled each other on love in high school. A world without her is a much sadder world.
I met your mom when Andrew started kindergarten with you, Jake. But we did not become friends until we were class mom's together for MayMay and Mason's kindergarten class. I remember making the goodie bags for the Halloween party at my house and we were talking in the front yard as she was being pelted in the head with falling acorns. After about the 3rd or 4th pelt to the head she had some colorful words for my oak trees, we both laughed so hard it hurt and I knew then we'd be friends. She always teased me for being the youngest mom in the group. So much so that I could not wait to turn 30. I thought she'd finely think I was "legit". No such luck though...she'd already turned 40. She made peewee soccer bearable, PTO meeting fun, and helped me so often with medical emergencies. You will be missed Dear Gailor like Sailor with a G.
