Gail Rieth RSM, who worked on the famvin.org team, died unexpectedly just a year ago. An educator and a skilled group facilitator, Sister Gail moved seamlessly among the societies of religious, women’s shelters, school children, leaders of dioceses, geeks, and so many others who appreciated her grace, intelligence, wisdom, and kindness. We miss her.
[‘][‘][‘] Patricia, Great job… very moving and thoughtful. My aunt is missed very much. As I reflect today on the anniversary of her passing, i think about all she taught me and gave to me. The biggest thing she gave to me was her unconditional love. She loved me no matter what. WE love and miss you very much Aunt Gail. Kelly, Debbie, Cayla, Sam and her namesake Avigail My children and I knew Gail for many years and as life became more hectic we lost touch. As we are planning for my 65th birthday party we were attempting to find Sr. Gail when we dicovered that she had died in 2007. Needless to say we cried for a while and then reflected on the times that she was a part of out lives and the times that she took care of my children while I was out of town. She was a part of our lives at a time that things were very difficult for us. She also shared a birthday with me. I say withme because I am two years older than she was. I am truely sad that we lost touch and that she is gone but certainly not forgotten. Sharon Kirby5 Comments

I met Gail on the day that we both entered Mercy. Although we remained friends until her death, our friendship continues in heart.”Miss her” does not describe the absence. Ida Gregoire, RSM-NE.
Thank you for sharing
