We in America are just learning of Gail’s passing and it is with both great sadness and great appreciation for how well I was treated in your home and how each visit became an event. We remember her with love and joy for having those few moments with her.

She comforted me on the day my son-in-law’s mother died, just two days before her own stroke. I cherish the quilted present she gave […]

Gail was one of those quiet yet joyous friends. Just a “hello” in the hallway could light up your day. Several of us on the Reunion Committee had been texting with her during the recent bombing in Jerusalem. She was in their saferoom & joked about needing to shower while the sirens were going off. […]

My Reflections of Gail As my thoughts and memories move through time, they take me back to my high school days. One of my great crushes was a dark-haired beauty named Gail Solomon. I tried to woo her and get her attention any way I could, but I was pretty inept. I drew her portrait […]
