Omaha, NE Wednesday, January 29, 2025 What a special lady Gail was. I feel so blessed to have know her and be a part of her care team. We shared so many laughs together. Always ready with a smile! I don't think a visit went buy that Gail didn't mention what a "wonderful daughter" Teri was and how much she appreciated all Teri did. Gail so loved her sweet little cat too and adored spoiling her. Gail will always have a piece of my heart. I never left without a little hug from my friend. Gail was a true treasure to all who knew her. She is now Rejoicing with the Angels. Sending prayers for comfort and peace. 🙏⚘️🦋Tammy Bernt
