Gail Malone - Online Memorial Website

Hi Grandma, I love you. You are the best Grandma that I've ever met in my whole life. You are so sweet & kind. I will miss you on turkey day and when Santa comes. I really wanted you to be here to see all of my new toys and to play with me. I wanted you to take me to see the Bee movie, we never went to the movies like you said we would.

PS - I love you with my heart & soul

and grandma I love Troy and Sharpay but I love you the most.

As I sit here missing my mom so much that it hurts. I started to think about tomorrow and the rest of the holidays coming our way and I just can't imagine them without her.  I can't believe that the holidays with my mom are always just going to be a memory now. They can never and will never be the same. She always added a special touch to make things that much better.  Whether it be decorating, cooking, shopping, gifts she bought with all her heart, or just the first person I would see to wish me a happy holiday.  Now I have to go to the cemetary to wish her a happy thanksgiving, merry christmas, etc. and it's just not fair. Sometimes, I just feel like my life is falling apart and I would do anything to talk to her and get some good motherly advice.  Long story short, I miss her to death and life without her in it, is just so sad. 

Grandma, remember when you went in the pool the old style way?  I miss that.  I wanted to go in the pool this weekend but everyone said it was too cold.  You would have let me go in right? 

I still think you are the prettiest, littlest, fattest gunchkin grandma!!! I will always remember ALL of the fun times with you...everytime with you was a fun time..even when we just stayed home..you always made me laugh..and I made you laugh.  I miss you so much.  I am trying to be strong but it is not easy.  When I went to the cemetry I asked that you would come back.  Kiss my brothers.  They are so luck to have you.  Wish I did. 

 

I love you gunchkin!!!!

Gail and my brother met 44 years ago and thats my entire life. I dont remember life without her in it. There are countless memories I have of her too many to write here, so I will share a few.Eddie and Gail would come out to my moms house in Queens Village just about every weekend. When I was a little girl (about 6) one of my first memories of Gail was how I loved to brush her hair. I would do it for hours. They took me home with them one weekend for a few days, that weekend Gail taught me Not to scrape my teeth on the fork when I ate. It made her crazy!! lol. But it stuck with me after she brought it to my attention everytime we ate that weekend and I never did it again. As a teenager I spent alot of time in her house. I watched her iron, and noone made a crease like she could. They were the best looking Jeans anyone ever wore. She was always there to listen to your problems and she really put her heart into the solutions she would suggest.

  When I got alittle older and started to drive, I took her to alot of Eddie and Brians basketball and baseball games and alittle later on a few of Kellys. I had so much fun watching her go nuts. She would get so into it. It was a show in itself. She was a wonderful mom who adored her children. Noone told a story like Gail, she made you feel like you were there when it happened. You would literally laugh until you cried. My kids always talk about the one when Eddies rabbit "attacked" her in the basement. One of my favorites is when she had to put her shopping bags down on the sidewalk to stop and eat her table talk pineapple mini pie in the street because she couldnt wait till she got home. I could never look at a table talk pie after that and not think of her. She taught me that you should never put your pocketbook on the floor or you will never have any money, Always cover a sleeping baby, and no matter how bad things get, they will get better. You never left Gails house without something that she bought and couldnt use and wanted you to have.

  She always greeted you with a big Kiss and left you with an "I love ya". She truly was a special person. We are lucky to have had her in our lives. I am sure she has contributed in some way to what makes all of us who we are today. Just knowing her leaves you with something.  I remember comparing her and Eddie to Barbie and Ken, you never had to wonder if she really loved him,  He was her "Eddie Malone" and "Isnt he so handsome"? "thats my honey!" Just the way she looked at him as they danced slow and she sang all the words. Everyone should have someone look at them like that just once in a lifetime.  She was there for the family totally and completely when we had to deal with the sickness and  death of my mom and brothers Mickey and Jimmy. Thank you Gail for the love, dedication and sense of true family that you gave all of us. You will never be forgotten and always loved and missed. As sad as it makes us to lose you is as happy as everyone you know in heaven is to have you, I am sure. We will all be together again someday. Till then- "I love ya".

Where do I begin, I have so many fond memories that I will treasure forever. From the littlest things like her notes to her wonderful and honest advice. Every single time that we stayed out in LI Ed, Kayla and myself would wake up to a note from Gail. Sometimes it would be short, sweet and to the point and other times it would be 4 pages long. The best would be when she would try to end it and start off with one PS-by the way..... and 5 PPPPPS later she would finally bring it to a close, but only after she wrote give my poopah a kiss for me. She always taped them to the TV so it was always the first thing we saw when we got up. Ironically I'm a bit of a pack rat so I never threw the notes out, we still have most of them and we will treasure them forever.

I remember when I first started dating Eddie, he tells me "my Mom is coming over after work and she wants to cook dinner for you", I was a little nervous because it was the first time that I would get to spend one on one time with her and I didn't know what to except. I remember saying "ok that sounds good, what is she making" well the look on my face was just priceless when Ed's response was "Garbage" I thought to myself "OMG she doesn't like me already" Well that day I found out what "Garbage" was (pasta, chopmeat, peas, etc) and I have to say she was the best freakin Garbage maker ever.

As some have said I could go on and on about all the fun times and all the times that Gail was there for us. Whatever it was, if you needed a shoulder to cry on, someone to talk to, or just a hug she was there. I Miss talking to her and going to her for advice, she was a pretty good secret keeper but most of all I miss seeing her bright smiling face and hearing her voice "Hey toots" or when she would call right after we would leave LI, "I know you just left here 2 minutes ago but can I talk to Kayla real quick" We would just laugh and say that she was nuts but she just couldn't help how much she loved her grandkids, it was like nothing I had ever seen before. Here love for them was so strong, pure and unconditional.

 

Until we meet again Gail, I love you & miss you bunches & bunches

I have so many memories of Gail.  She entered my life during one of the hardest times in my life.  I needed a mom so bad when my own mother died and ironically Gail stepped in and tried to fill her shoes.  For the record...She did a hell of a job.  I spent many, many evenings at The Malone house, so much that they had dinner waiting for me after my part time job.  Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve was the best!  Gail always threw a fantastic party!  I am so glad that I had the last 15 years to get to know you. You have made such an impact in everyones lives.  Your wake was a pure example of all of the lives that you've touched.  I still see you in my dreams , often.  I am grateful for all of the memories that we shared together.  I miss you and definately miss your advice.  Jake is still so sad.  He can't understand why God has taken you away and neither can the rest of us.  I really just believe that God needed another angel to help him in heaven.  That is why my mom was taken too soon and before her life was complete.  Please kiss all of my loved ones...until we meet again. XOXOXOXOXOX  Krissy

I love my Grandma, and she is so special to me. She is the most special Grandma in the whole wide world. She's always so kind and good to me, and she always read books to me. She always plays with me and she hugs me everytime I go to my Grandpa's house. I wish she could see me do a canon ball on my bed and she's always in my heart because God and Grandma love me so much. Grandma I love you more than life , I miss you and you live in my heart.

My favorite memory of Aunt Gail was when she played checkers with me.  I liked when she babysat for me.  We had fun.  She was really nice.  I miss her.

I miss hearing from you everyday and you asking me to kiss your girls.  I still kiss them everyday for you and then in return I ask you to kiss my boys for me.  (We are still a great team..we sure had a great way of always working together on something..whether it was fixing a problem or just making things better for everyone)  I am for the 1st time since the loss of the tiwns..basically okay with them being in heaven and me being here and that is becasue you are there.  I know what a wonderful grandmother you were here to your girls and how lucky they were to have you... I know now the twins are getting that love and how fortunate they are. 

I miss your advice, your kindness and telling me "you know what I got to tell ya" everytime we spoke.  I don't think I will ever meet anyone as dedicated as you as a parent and grandparent.  I can only hope to be the kind of mother you were!  That is my goal...to live, love and laugh as much as you and to dedicate my life to my family the way you did. You raised 3 caring kids and they are hurting so much because you love them so completely. I will keep you so close to my heart and the hearts of my children.  Until we meet again...I will only have wonderful memories to grasp onto.  Love you so much and can't stop hurting!!!!! 

I could write a novel about all the memories I have about my wonderful mother. The ones that stand out were our daily phone calls and how I would make you laugh until you could'nt breathe. I remember how you wrote in my yearbook how I was the "laughter in your life". How you cracked up at my impersonations of people, especially Dad, and my "I'm Not A Know It All" by Frankie Lymon. The normal great times growing up in Ridgewood that I now realize I took for granted. Your visits to see Amanda and Cassidy (even on one leg) were something I can never forget. All the wonderful advice you gave me (I still have your letters). I'm so happy I was in Baumann's with you for your last vacation. I wish we were all there together. The last great memory was when I jokingly told my Mom I was going to miss work to come early to the hospital. She told me to come closer and then punched me. I won't let her sickness put a damper on a wonderful life shared with her.You and Dad did a hell of a job raising Ed, Kel, and myself and should be very proud. I love you so much Mom and you are constantly in my thoughts and prayers. Say hi to everyone and take care of my boys, Kyle and Patrick! I'm glad you even have grandchildren in the party in the sky. You went to that party way too early, but I will try and live happily my remaining days on earth to honor you until we meet again. I love you and miss you more than words can say darlin! Rest In Peace my beautiful mother.

When I was little & u gave me a hot bath (no cold water) in the kitchen sink because I got dirty after u dressed me so pretty.  Those delicious meals on Woodbine St., instant creamy mashed potatoes/chicken cutlet/cream style corn & grilled cheese sandwich/golden brown/w tomatoe.  You made me your Maid of Honor & Godmother to Little Eddie. We always got along living @ 6042 (lets not mention the bad times). The times when we were together u gave me good advise & I made u laugh. No one to call for a spelling of a word or phone #. So sorry for the way things happen to u, the way you had to leave us.  I hate it.  I wish I could of cleaned your bedsores, the blood on your face.  Help your husband, your children & Nicole heel their broken hearts.  Miss & love you so damn much.

The simplest things Aunt Gail did to perfection, and they just can't be recreated. Making a cup of tea (somehow it never tasted the same when anyone else made it), placing a blanket on you to the point where you never as comfortable as you were at that moment, and buttering a piece of bread  (even though it seemed the whole tub was placed on one piece... ha-ha). These simple gestures that she gave just to let you know that you were loved. All and all I will miss the talks... nothing will ever replace that, It will have to suffice w/ our conversations now in my head.

I love ya Gailey... and miss you dearly!!!!!!!!

 

I was thinking this weekend while I was pumpkin picking that last year at this time Gail came to lunch and told us all about the firehouse that she went to that was haunted and her whole experience with going through it and how it was scary and all.  I can see her face and her expressions and her laughing while I hear it going through my head.  How she told a story was amazing and her laugh just added to it.

There are so many memories of Gail that come to mind everyday just walking to work and seeing people that she said hello to every day that there is never a second that she is forgotten. I still cannot believe the she is no longer here with us but we have so many memories of her that she lives with us forever.  She made a lasting impression on everyone she touched and spoke to.  When something happens I try and think of what Gail would tell me.  I miss you.

I have some many memories of Aunt Gail. I do not know where to begin, Always helping me with my writing.  I lost of my both editors Aunt Gail and Dianne. I remember Kerri Ann and I  would call Aunt Gail up when every we needed to spell a word or write something. I do not like writing because my grammar and spelling stinks but I just needed to write something for Aunt Gail.

 

 What I would say is aunt Gail was always there for you and she would tell it like it is.  She organized many parties and always like having a great time. She alway had a good joke to tell .    

My greatest memory is her telling how great I was.  

 

My aunt’s and uncle's gave me different parts of my personality. I have lost an aunt but I will still remember everything she taught me.  

Aunt GailIi know you are having a good time with  Grandma,  Uncle Artie and Dianne .  If you get a chance to read this  please correct my spelling and grammer  

love you Aunt Gail and you are greatly missed  .        

 

My favorite memory of my mom was everything we ever did together.  I thank God everyday for the amazing relationship we had and how much we did together.  From girl scouts, cheerleading, dancing school, softball, basketball, teaching me how to drive, shopping, buying a house together (and thinking we were interior designers), sharing secrets, our long talks, Sunday Lifetime days, taking the train together almost everyday and just geniuenly loving each other and our time together.

My saddest memory of my mom would be when the doctor first told her she was sick, watching her not be able to take care of herself in the hospital and of course watching her pass.  It is a memory I would love to forget yet I'm so thankful we were able to be with her and she did not die alone.   

As wonderful detailed memories come to me, I will share them with you, but my mind has not settled enough for that yet.

I MISS HER SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!
