Sure hated to hear this news. Growing up in ^Gaylord, I spent many days at the Stuedemann household and have many fond memories. I remember Gail hated when I brought my snake, Gonzo, over. The only times I ever saw her mad. She was a great person and will be missed by many. RIP my friend.

I remember the first time I met Gail. It was my first visit to Gaylord in 1998. My impression was that Gail was a strong woman and definitely well respected by everyone especially her children.
Gail was a warm, sweet, and most of all smart, savvy, small town girl. She was the definition of Minnesota nice and I will miss her. Rest In Peace Gail. You have earned your place in heaven.

friend till we meet again. We have another angel with wings among us.
