My sincerest sympathies to the Bianchi Family and her friends and co-workers. I met Gail approximately 50 years ago at Mercy Hospital. I was a 21 year old kid and had just started a job as a House Keeper at Mercy. In those days they had a designated cleaner, dressed in operating room garb for the operating rooms in EENT. I had no idea what I was doing and was a nervous wreck. I remember Gail being so kind to me, big smile and devilish personality. Her and the other nurses and techs kind of adopted me as their friend, Gail and Debra Camp were a hoot together. I will never forget those two specifically. I can still see her pretty eyes and her yellow Opel clearly in my memory. So sad to see her name when I was looking for another person's obit. I was a very small part of her journey in life , but she was a bit larger part of mine, I have thought of that job and Gail and the others there many times over the years. Heaven will be a lot more fun with Gail around, awaiting her reunion with family and friends.
Rest in Peace old friend.

Beloved Gail, My heart is heavy as I think of the incredible bond we´ve shared over the past 64 years. From the time we met at age 10, we´ve built a lifetime of cherished memories-growing up, going to school together, attending STCC, working at Mercy, skiing and playing softball, and standing by each other through life´s milestones. You were not just my oldest and dearest friend, but my maid of honor and chosen family. You are deeply loved, I will miss you dearly, you will always be in my heart. Your loving friend, Debby
