Gayle, you are greatly missed and deeply loved by us all. I miss your beautiful smile that was always on your face. I thank you for being a great friend to me and a loving teacher to Zachary. Dave, you are in our thoughts and prayers, along with the rest of the family.

My prayers and blessings go out to Mrs. Gayle and her family. I am a mother now, I attened Salvation Army DayCare Center as a child and so did my siblings. Now I have my own family, Andre-18, Harmonie-13, Justice-13, and they also attended the center. Mrs. Gayle was a very important part of our every morning,She always had a great big SMILE waiting for all of us. She will be missed very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Also My parents send there prayers.   THANKS FOR EVERYTHING YOU GAVE MY INTIRE FAMILY!!!

We were saddened to hear of Gayles passing. Gayle taught our oldest Son,Joel, 1st grade at Family Life Center in Peoria. She was such a vibrant,happy,smiling Christian Woman. We didn't know Dave,but, send him and the family our deepest condolences. Truelly, a Precious Servant of the Lord has gone home to be with her Lord. Psalms 116:15. She will be greatly missed.

I am so sorry about Gayle.  For many years while at the Salvation Army Child Care Center, Gayle brought her students to the Hult Center for our summer program.  I was always impressed with Gayle's sincere concern for the well being of her students.  She had such a lovely manner with the children.  My sympathy to all of her family. 

 

Sincerely,

 

Marcy Coppernoll, Hult Health Education Center 

I was shocked and saddened to learn of Gayle's passing.  She was my maid of honor almost 29 years ago.  Though we have not been in touch for a long time, I can still remember her sweet spirit and joyful sense of humor.  She loved to laugh, and we certainly did a lot of it together.  My thoughts and prayers go out to her husband and family in this time of great loss.  While we grieve here, we look forward to a joyous reunion in heaven.  I would appreciate someone contacting me to let me know what happened.  From reading the other condolences, I get the impression she may have been ill for a while, but I just don't know much else.  Thank you.  Susan (Williamson) Lacey  ds.lacey@yahoo.com

It has been said already by so many who knew her, but it will always be the warm smile and geniune caring that we will all miss. I never saw her without a friendly and warm greeting of Christ like love. We are all blessed to have shared even a moment of our lives with her and we will miss how she brightened each of us at Northwoods Church. Dave and family, may you find comfort and peace during this difficult time, knowing that Gayle is home with our heavenly father. Mike and Sue Schaffnit

My fondest memories of Gayle are visions of her smiling eyes accompanying her infectious laugh, her ability and willingness to accept and love everyone, and her devotion to her faith. A role model to me - as she was such a dear friend to my sister, Jeanne. To me, Gayle was part of our family. Gayle was always there (not far from our house, visiting our restaurant frequently, even as far as Somoa her presence was felt) and I expect she always will be. Her imprint in my life is forever. I wish Mrs. Antle, Susie and Sharon peace and comfort together. Gayle was as special as she was because the love and support of her wonderful family. Gayle you could always be counted on for many laughs, while your tenderness and generous heart illuminated many! Thank you for so many formative memories! - lonnie

I remember Gayle from high school. We graduated the same year. What I remember about Gayle is that she had such a tenderness, kindness about herself that shown through her eyes. She had such a beautiful spirit and shared her love with everyone she met. Gayle was always willing to help other people in need. When I think of Gayle, I see the 2 story house that she grew up in,which was and still is around the corner from my grandmother's house, now my parent's home. What amazes me is that Gayle and I were born the same year and yet here I am looking at her picture. She has gone to see her Lord. As for myself there are a few people you meet in your lifetime that you know are angelic creatures and Gayle was one of them. I am humbled to have known Gayle even if for a short time. I have such sweet memories at the old Antle's place on Russell St. Thank-you Mrs. Antle for the gift of life you gave to Gayle and how lives were touched by her presence. Much love and thoughts come your way from someone who loves all of you....................
