Condolence: Dear Gail, I was sorry to read in the Islander of your mother's death. I have such very fond memories of her, back when we were teenagers and I would meet you and Gary for rollerskating, or going to a dance, or just hanging out. Your mother was always just as you described her in the obituary--very dignified, gracious, and loving. She was always welcoming and warm to me, and I was always glad when I got to see her and talk with her. With great fondness, and sincere condolences, Don

Condolence: So sorry Gail to hear about the loss of your mother. May you find comfort in your wonderful memories of her. She will always be with you and watching over you.

Condolence: From my many years at Bar Harbor Airlines, we all knew Barbara, or "Ma", as we affectionately called her, as the epitome of grace, charm and warmth. We were privileged to have known her and her wonderful family. Gail, you were blessed with your mother's sparkle and may your mother live on through your warm personality. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Alan Gray

Condolence: Gail, my thoughts are with you and your family. I loved your mother. She was always so sweet, kind, and gracious to me. She was the epitome of an unbelievably strong and courageous woman. For many years whenever I would run into her she would recount the story of when my children were little and went trick or treating at her house one year. She got such a kick out of my daughter dumping out her plastic pumpkin and showing her and describing every piece of candy she had gotten so far. My mother was very fond of your mother and would want me to offer her condolences also. Your family was a huge part of Trenton's history. It is hard to see all of that generation going.
