    My heart is saddened to see that Gayle passed on. I have only known Gayle a few months as I was her Shipt shopper delivery girl for her groceries. In my time of meeting her, I was able to learn that she was such an amazing woman, kindhearted, inspiring and content to share her dog with me on my visits. We would have conversations about Jesus and her family and I can say that she LOVED both very much! My prayers are with her family & friends and I am just thankful that I had the opportunity to meet her and get to know her. ~Gretchen Kershaw
