I am so very sorry to hear of Gayle’s passing. She was a beautiful person, inside and out.
It is tragic that such an extraordinary person has had her life cut short. She will be greatly missed.
God bless her and her loved ones.
God’s Speed Gayle🙏🙏🙏
Gayle Janice Straub Mortenson was my dear sister, born August, 16th,1953. I was born August, 17th, 1954. Gayle and I shared the same birthday and the same birthday cake during our growing-up years. Out birthdays were always celebrated on August the 16th. Our last birthday together was celebrated August, 16th, 1968. Our parents divorced the next year and Gayle married her High School sweetheart and started her own family and moved from our native state of Arizona. Each year for the next 51 years I thought of Gayle on our shared birthday of August the 16. I always wished we could celebrate our birthdays together because it was as if we were twins separated only by years and miles and differences. Now Gayle is in a better place with no pain, no tears and no fears. My only regret is that she did not share her pain, her tears and her fears with me. I would have been by her side if she would have only shared the end of her life with me. After all, isn’t that what loving sisters do?
