The knight

In the Middle Ages, a knight was supposed to display three virtues: 1) loyalty to the king, 2) protection of the weak, and 3) courage in battle. Gayl showed all these qualities all of her life. Loyalty to the King, she never wavered in her commitment to our Lord, Jesus Christ. Protection of the weak, she always did everything she could do and never spared herself when caring for a patient. Courage in battle, whether it was her own many illnesses or the several injustices inflicted upon her by the legal system, Gayl persevered and fought on bravely till she was overwhelmed by an unsurmountable enemy.

Gayl is a better person than I. I am honored and privileged to be her husband. I wish I had the words to describe her, her bravery and kindness were wonders to behold, as much as her skill as a doctor.

I miss her very much, no that does not even begin to describe how I feel. Gayl is my pride and joy, my love, my all.
