We are heartbroken to learn of Gail's passing, as well as EC's. We loved their family and Evan was a friend of our son's growing up on Wilmington Island. Gail was an angel, running to help anyone who was in need. She was a devoted servant of God who adored her family and cherished her friends. My fondest memories were before I really knew her. She was singing so beautifully in church, smiling through each verse of, "His eye is on the sparrow." They are all together in heaven now, in perfect health and wrapped in the arms of our Savior. We were so blessed by them all here on this earth. Peace and love to the family.
