Dear Dave, Trisha and Brian..I just learned about Gail yesterday. I am just devastated that I didn’t know sooner. Please know how my heart is just broken for your sad loss. Gail was just such a unique Beautiful lady. I can’t imagine anyone who met her not to love her. I visited her at VCA as a salesrep and always looked forward to meeting with such a positive lovely person! We both love our pets so much and lost a few over the years and a big cry together. She will be so very missed. Love, Carol Embrey
