“Your Mom and I had a problem together (as
teenagers), we would laugh so much it was
sometimes out of control. That is what I
remember most about your Mom – her laugh,
especially when you just couldn’t stop.”
-Friend

“Gail was always quick with a smile, had a contagious
laugh, and was an excellent Frisbee player and all
around athlete. She was also very lucky… I think she
made her own good luck. One time she and I went to
a Christmas party and she won three of the five door
prizes!”
-Family Friend







     "I remember the growing smile on Gail’s face as she held her son.
      It moved me to tears. Gail was always a wonderful natural mother.
     That beaming smile and the fact that she fit back in her jeans within
     a month, will be etched in my memory bank forever”
     -Sister In-Law

“I recall during our camping trips with the Boledovich family, I was so impressed by what a wonderful Mother Gail was. She was a natural even at her young age. I can see her smile and hear her voice to this day. She will always remain young, beautiful, and full of life in my eyes.”
-Family Friend

     “My memories are filled with her
     incredible talent of mothering, a
     smile that could always turn the
     mood to laughter, and her
     stunning creative ability at a
     moment’s notice. My memories
     are rich with the lessons your
     Mom taught me. I will always
     love her for teaching me the
     magic of children.
     -Sister

“I remember her brilliant creation of Alpha Pals, an alphabet learning concept for children. Her passion, her amazing talent, her creativity, and her determination were all rolled into one with this amazing work of art.”
-Family Friend



“Gail had so much energy!! There was always a
project, event, or contest going on. She was the
best Mom. She treasured every stage Paul, Lisa,
Trisha, and Julie were at. She knew they’d grow
up fast. I enjoyed coming over to see what she
was up to, what surprises she was planning for
her family.”
-Friend





"When I gave birth to my first child, there was a lot of hoopla – an outpouring of cards, flowers, and  generosity - it was a VERY big deal. When I gave birth to my second child, people sent cards but it was a far cry from the birth of my first born.  No one really went out of their way, except Gail Boledovich. She showed  up at my home and surprised me with dinner, an outfit, and flowers she had cut from her garden. She was truly happy for me that I had added to my family.  I realized at that point that Gail knew something that I didn’t. She understood how wonderful it was to not just have one child but to have a family. She understood that giving a child a sibling is a great gift that every life was important and should be appropriately celebrated”
-Family Friend

   “I spent a great deal of my
   childhood years with the
   Boledovich family. One thing
   that sticks out in my mind
   was Gail’s love for the
   holidays. I remember how much
   she loved to decorate the
   house at Christmas time.
   Since this was also one of my
   favorite activities, I loved
   it when she would let us kids
   help out. Gail always made me 
   feel like part of the family.”
   -Daughter’s Friend

“My favorite memory of your mom is not a memory but a feeling. I was always excited to spend time at your house because of how much fun I had and how welcome I always felt. Your mom did an amazing job of making everyone feel like they were important and special. She always made me feel smart and pretty from the compliments she gave to the interest she paid in my life.”
-Daughter’s Friend

     “So many of my growing up memories
     include your family and my time spent at
     1313 Poplar. At the center of these are
     the countless hours spent – usually in the
     kitchen – talking to, learning from, and
     laughing with your Mom.”
     -Daughter’s Friend

     “I met Gail Boledovich and the rest of the
      family in the fall of 1990 in the seventh grade.
     Everyone knew Gail as being the “cool” mom
     of the bunch and all the kids loved talking to her.”
     -Daughter’s Friend

"Gail was not only a Mom, she was a
best friend [to her children].”
-Daughter’s Friend

  
“The greatest tribute to Gail’s life
is her four, successful, loving
offspring. That did not happen by
mistake! Her light shines through
you and is very bright.”
-Family Friend

“When I first met Gail she treated me as an equal, which was so weird because all my friends’ parents up until then had known me as a child… and were still treating me as one. Gail was different. She was respectful and interested in what was going on in my life. In many ways, she helped me to see myself as an adult for the first time.”
