I only just heard of Gayle's passing, some months after it happened. Auntie Gayle is one of the people I remember best from my childhood. When my parents divorced and we moved to Acadia Court, she was the first person to knock on the door and welcome us to the neighborhood. My mother, Mabel Glasper, and Gayle played endless games of Scrabble, and we spent a number of New Year's Eve's playing Aggravation with them. Some people come into your life for a brief time, some for longer, and some, like Gayle, leave memories that last forever. I hope they have Scrabble in heaven, because I'm sure mum has the board ready.
