Im not even sure how to begin this message. Or how to express my feelings right now. I was so privileged to have met you guys through Noel (Joe). I HAVE A STORY TO TELL.... Growing up as a teen if I ever needed (well lets be honest, I needed Bruce) I could come by any time with car troubles but I always knew that I would be leaving feeling more powerful then when I arrived. While Bruce would fix my car, I spent many hours in the living room or kitchen, listening to Gail talk ;) and she always made me feel I should be more strong, confident and proud then I was. She could talk and talk (as everyone knows) but I always had no problem listening to her for hours. If she felt I had stopped listening she always brought my attention back ( I may have drifted off more then once lol). I remember once Gail was really mad at Bruce as he had taken the draw string from the living room curtains to use as a throttle cable for my Skoda, in case it broke down again (it did). I remember her scolding Bruce and then when he went back out to the garage, she turned to me and said that she was ok, because it was me. She said that I was to listen to Bruce's instruction and think of HER opening the curtains manually, while I was using the string to drive my car. She always made me feel welcome and STRONG and I loved her for that. Any time I open a blind or curtain with a drawn string Bruce and Gail come into my thoughts. Rest in peace Gail, you will be missed by many!! love kim
