Where do I begin? How do I say "See you, later?" Gail, as the eldest child, grandchild, [cousin], and [sister] born to the Curtises, you always took charge, never being afraid of challenges or obstacles along the way! You embraced the freedom to be free, travel, explore, and share your experiences. You took advantage of the best opportunities in this life, and ran with them. Although not successful in every venture, you never allowed the ' bump' to slow you down. Without knowing it at the time, you set the bar, EXTREMELY high for your siblings and younger family [cousins] members. We did not always acknowledge this fact, but it was a FACT! I will miss you -- especially your bossiness...I do not know if you realized it at times, but you could be pretty "rough" on us humans! I remember you laying me out on more than a few occasions--if I close my eyes and think back, I can imagine your hand on one hip and with the other hand, pointing and shaking it--I always apologized and you 'seemed' to soften. I will miss you [Mommy isn't to know!] Your beautiful enunciation of the English language! Your smile, and kisses! Rest easy, Cuzin Gail. You deserve to have someone take care of you! Kiss My Mama, your Mommy, MyraJ♡, JoAnn, Allen, Carl [and everyone else too plenty to name] for me!!
