Gail, I have been trying to honor you in this way 💖 Ruby makes me laugh often and I know you are with me in those moments  and many others 💝  We all miss you and your sparkle .  Know that you are loved 💝💝🙏🏻🙏🏻

We are all still missing  you Gail !!!
🧡🧡🧡
...You were Loved.

Hey Noodles (Gail) it's Ned (Ed)! I will miss those times you called me, not your sister, looking for "advice" on a far ranging list of topics, usually not related to anything other than your trying to get to me! I will especially miss those daily phone calls between you Diane and the ensuing laughter on Diane's end of the phone. You left your mark on the world and everyday will now be one laugh less too be heard. Shalom! ❣️

I knew Gail for 25 years having first met at a cocktail party in Hawaii during the kick-off meeting with Compact Computers.  From that moment on we were instant friends.  Gail's sassy personality and sense of humor kept me entertained for years.  We would spend an hour late night on the phone several times a week  just catching up on the events of the day.  It was like my own personal Late Nite Show with Jay Leno!  She kept me in stitches!  We had a couple of memorable trips including the Cayman Islands and of course the 50th birthday celebration in Cabo. Gail called me Muffin and referred to me as her Florida husband.  Every visit I made to HB she had a honey-do list of items for me to repair.

Gail's passing has left a huge void in my world.  I miss hearing her voice and us laughing together.  Rest in peace sweetheart.  We will be together again one day...........

I have been friends with Diane for 37 years.  Although I only met Gail one time, I have been privy to stories about her. One time, I was fortunate to be in the car with Diane when Gail called her. Her vibrancy, light & wit, left me crying with laughter.  What a bubble! It was so easy just talking with her. I felt like I knew her. 

While reading all your memories here, I’ve  gotten to know even more about Gail. Apparently, Gail was a unique, beautiful soul and left a trail of love, light, kindness and compassion to everyone who knew her. What a gift!

I loved Gail vicariously through Diane. 

My deepest condolences to Adele, Dan, Diane(Ed).
May her memory be a blessing.

With love, Amy(Mark)




I met Gail a little over 15 years ago.  She was always quick witted and so much fun to be around.  While I only had the pleasure of working with her a couple of times over the years, we became friends outside of work.  

Her ability to care for those who she allowed to get close to her was incredible.  I will always remember her laugh, her sharp wit, and of course the way she would light up a room just by entering.

Over the last few years, we stayed in touch via phone and email.  I'm thankful for every one of those calls, even the ones where she would laugh and call me stupid (I'm sure I am not the only one).

My heart goes out to her family and friends during this time of loss.  Her memory lives on, and I'm blessed to have called her a friend.

I met Gail back in 2003 in the world of cyber security.  We became fast friends. She was so full of life  and humor. Very, very funny.  I felt fortunate to have a friend like her. She sent me a recipe about 6 months ago that I have made several times.  Thoughtful. She will be missed. My prayers are with her family. Rest In Peace my friend. ❤️

We had some friends in common and Gail spent time with me around 2014 to help teach me how to sell, and later how to hire sales people. She was so kind and witty and funny. It meant a lot to my little business that she would do that for me.   

I met Gail about 5 years ago when my wife and I moved into the house next door to her. We had so many conversations in the ally by our garages and out by the mailbox, which turned a neighbor into a good friend. I think about her every time I get my mail. We miss her dearly. My prayers go out to Gail, her family and friends. 

Gail was a Great Neighbor and good friend.
We were so so saddened to hear of Gail's passing.
Our street and neighborhood will  "Never" be the same. I miss her terribly.
May the Good Lord comfort her family and friends.
 Much Love...
The Sisco family.
❤❤❤


Gail was an incredible woman, she brought joy to any room, conversation or situation.  She was dedicated to her work, her family and friends.  She will be very missed and she remains very loved.  I had the joy of working with her. 

Gail and I met way back in the day at a cyber security company. Gail was just a funny, warm hearted and quick witted lady. We didn’t always stay in touch regularly, but she was a friend and I will miss her. Thoughts and prayers to her family and Rest In Peace Gail.  

So sad to hear the news today of Gail's passing. What a bright light and a beautiful soul. First met Gail in Feb of 2016 in Newport Beach, CA at a McAfee Sales meeting. 

We became teammates and quick friends that day when we learned we were both IL kids and shared many common experiences. Really enjoyed selling on the same team with Gail. She was a great teammate, very helpful, always fun and brightened up our calls and  meetings. 

Gail was also very kind, caring and compassionate. She had no fear of calling to check in on you and asking how you were doing if she sensed any kind of potential trouble or issue.

She and I had a few conversations the past couple of years as we were both navigating sabbatical's in our careers for similar reasons. As fellow believers in Jesus we also had discussions around faith.

I was so happy for her when she landed her most recent position. I am so sad to learn of her passing today from John Franklin's post on LinkedIn.

My condolences to all of her family and closest friends. I will lifting you all up in prayer.  May you all be comforted and find joy in your fond memories of her and the joy she lived out daily. 

She is gone way too soon. I have no doubt she with Jesus now - walking and running in Heaven.  

May she rest in peace. And, may we all cherish and preserve her memory in our hearts as a constant reminder to live each day as if it were our last. 

God Speed, Gail.  May the Lord continue to bless and comfort the Aurenz family.  - Casey


I will always remember Gail with her sweet smile, cute laugh and sassy funny attitude.  Over many years we laughed together and shared life.  I will hold a very special place in my heart for this young woman.  I feel blessed to have had her in my life and she will truly be missed.  My sincerest sympathies.

Too many fantastic memories and miss-adventures to count, but suffice it to say Gail will be dearly missed. We started working together in 2000 at ISS and continued to work with each other over the last 20-years at Preventsys, McAfee (twice) and most recently partnering with her at ISSquared. She made work fun... she made life fun... she cared about her friends, family and community. For those who were lucky enough to know her well you may have heard some of her stories: Petco conference call, hot pants, black dresses in Vegas, speeding ticket with her boss, tow-truck stories, half sandwich give-a-ways, and her beloved Trout. Gail...you were a one of kind! Rest in peace.

Gail was a dear friend. We would laugh about just about everything together and she had such a great personality. I loved how she could chat up just about anyone she came in contact with.  We had many fun adventures together. 
I will always remember how she loved going home to see her Mommy. She would light up when she talked about her Mom and how she loved being with her. The last 2+ years she was on a mission to help those in need, she said that if she couldn’t be back home helping her Mom then maybe helping someone out here locally in HB would make someone’s life better. 
Gail was always there to help and you didn’t have to ask twice. Gail was a gem and one of a kind. I will miss my friend dearly. Rest in heaven my sweet soul.  See you one day in paradise. 

It’s me again.... I also want to thank all of you who may not have known Gail, but whose support for my family and me  is so very appreciated.  Thank you for your love  and friendship ❤️ 

I have been in contact with many of Gail’s friends: grade school and high school friends,  work associates reaching as far back to Gail’s first job with Andrew Corporation, and friends in California. Gail casted a wide net and stayed in touch with so many people. Your love for Gail and your stories, comfort me. My family is heartbroken for losing the baby of our family. We were very close. All are shocked to hear of Gail’s passing. She was fun and vibrant to her last day on earth. I thank all who loved her through the years. Remember her shining spirit and the laughs you had with her. Gail believed in Jesus and I have no doubt that he took her home to be with him in Heaven. I envision her visiting with our dearly departed and hope to see her when God calls me home. Take care of yourselves and may God bless you ♥️
