Marie McCusker wrote a sympathy message

“To Gail’s family our deepest sympathies. Gail and I spent decades at BMO together. I always said, if you want something done efficiently and perfect, give it to Gail. She was a huge support to me. But more than that we had a wonderful friendship. Wayne & Gail were good friends before and when they lived in Stonecroft. Card games, laughs, happy hours are memories we cherish. She was challenged with the loss of Wayne and Rick, who she is now with. With sad hearts, Marie & Paul McCusker”
