Mom's funeral today was absolutely beautiful. It was full of music, just the way she would have wanted it. So many people payed such a beautiful tribute to a wonderful woman through words and music. It was a gorgeous, sunny day outside and Mom looked beautiful. As a family, we want to thank all of those people who came to say goodbye to Mom, the people who sent cards and flowers, and those who participated in the service. It means a lot to all of us to know that Mom was so loved.
I wanted to post a copy of her service program so that those who couldn't be there could see it. I have several extra copies, so please, if you couldn't make it to the service and would like a copy of her program, please let me know and I'd be happy to send one. You can leave a post here or email me at dmtne@hotmail.com
Thanks again to all.

On behalf of the entire Seattle WOnen's Clinic staff, we want you know that you and Elizabeth, as we knew her, are now and always will be in our thoughts. I am certain she is up above deciphering our dictations and transcibing them at 200 words per minute, correcting our grammer and listening in to the background noise of our lives. We learned today so much about our friend, confidant,patient, devoted mother and grandmother and loyal employee. All of us are better people because of her and her devoted family. What a circle of love surrounded her in her life and on her death. We will all meet again. Robin Cole
Dear Sawyer Family,
I wanted to let you know how much Gail meant to myself and all of the sister's of the Mukilteo Ward Relief Society. Her funeral was amazing and her presence was felt in everything that was said and done. She looked absolutely beautiful and so peaceful. Even though I didn't know her personally for very long, the 3 months that I was her visiting teacher brought me close to a very special sister who I now deeply miss. Our last visit together in December brought many tears and love that was expressed openly by Gail and by us. Her spirit was so strong and her love was endless. I will always remember her great example of service and abounding charity for everyone. I am also deeply touched by the love and devotion that I saw in all of her family.
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of her life and for the chance to serve you all in a small way at the funeral luncheon. As a new Relief Society President it was one of the most sweet experiences I have had. My love and concern goes out to all of you and I hope that you remember that the prayers of the sisters are always with you. I know that the Lord will encircle all of you in his arms and carry you through this difficult time.
Sister Marianne Brereton and the Mukilteo Ward Relief Society
Dear Sawyer Family,
I was so sorry to hear of Gail's passing. She was such a wonderful friend to my sister, Linda. I enjoyed the times we had together. I will always remember the fun we had vacationing together on the Oregon Coast. May God bless you all with peace and comfort at this time.
I would love to see a copy of the euology and obituary if you have the chance to send one.
