May 3, 2016 at 7:55 pmGail was a very very lovely and sweet lady . Whenever I saw her and visited with her at the Altamont Fair she was always full of love and devotion for the work she did on behalf of the animals . She even looked like an angel to me . I hope to see her again someday , across the Rainbow Bridge , wearing her much deserved angel wings and still doing her special work . I will never forget her . Sincerely , Bev Powers
