To my friend and my sister. Your departure from your earthly home to your heavenly home has left a void in my soul. We shared so much growing up, finding true love friendship have no bounds. Our mothers were more like sisters than best friends and they passed that on to us. I will keep your memory alive, continuing to pray for you and talking to you. You have shown me how to fight and be an example of God’s glory can and will do. I love you my sister/my friend and I’ll miss hearing your laughter and your voice. To your family, I pray that God cover them with the blood of the lamb and carry them while they can’t carry themselves. I LOVE YOU.

Until we meet again…

To my aunt my rock,
You have shown me how to persevere with grace on the journey of life for most Sampson women and to not slide into darkness no matter how deep the pain or the battle. I will always cherish the time we had, I will always remember your lessons and I will never stop loving you. until we meet again auntie

I worked with Gail at Luke AFB she was a super person who was quick to share her beautiful smile.
One of my funny memories of Gail was her telling me she had to rush home to cook for her baby…her grandson. I asked what she was making and she said he told her he wanted “shicken”. She said he always wanted her to make him “shicken”. That was how he said chicken.
Gail will be missed by the many people lucky enough to know her.
