It is with deep sadness that we say goodbye to Gail, a remarkable women who truly lived life to the fullest. She embraced adventure, traveled far and wide, and experienced what many others dream of.
Gail's love for Italy was infectious, and through her passion, she introduced so many to the beauty of Abruzzo, helping them find not just houses but homes.
She was a creative force, a trendsetter, someone who saw possibilities where others saw obstacles. Her spirit was bold, her heart generous, and her impact lasting.
To Wayne and family, may you find comfort in the love she shared and the memories she leaves behind. Gail will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
Much love
Tracey and Des
