Dear Gail,

I am writing you in regards to your book "Survival on a Wing and a Prayer".

It is hard to imagine that someone would endure so much pain and suffering in their life and at the same time be such a gift to others. Perhaps that was the deal you and God made. You would have to through all of that stuff and in exchange He would give you a special gift.

Your book is about courage, love, perserverance and service to others. It is a book that lifts up your spirit and brings tears to your eyes. It tells the story from the eyes of a child into adulthood. Your story should be read by anyone who has experienced abuse of any kind, believers and skeptics, or those who are grieving. There is a chapter for everyone.

Thank you for telling your story. Thank you for your courage and for being one of God's messengers.

Sincerely,
Sandy Phillips

Your book, On a Wing and a Prayer, was just....WOW!!! Your story, your history, your strength, your gift all is just so inspiring. It's so wonderfully amazing how you were able, with the help of God and your Guides, turn each of the situations that you were facing into a most positive life! And even though you still face many heart aching experiences, you still continue with the motivation and understanding that nothing happens by coincidence. It has been all my pleasure getting to know you better and learning how we all have the power to transform any negative experiences into what we want make of it. Thank you so much for sharing your story and your life!! Sincerely Judith Steiner, from Coconut Creek, FL.

On a Wing & a Prayer

I went to High School with Gail but never got the opportunity to know her. She always seemed angry and frankly, that scared me. As soon as I heard about her book I did go out and get it. It opened my eyes to so many things that I had over looked through the years. I now understand why she was angry in school as it was an outlet.

I am a big believer in the physic world. After the loss of my child I tried to find signs from her all over and felt betrayed that I couldn't find them but after reading Gail's book I learned not to go looking for signs as they are usually right in front of you. I felt a big weight lifted of me and began to see the messages from my daughter all over the place.

Gail Lionetti has done so much good for the world in her life that I was unable to put the book down until I reached the final page. It made me look at my own life differently. I always thought I was a good person but never really did anything about it. I stopped going to Church after my daughter died believing how could God do such a thing to me when I have tried to live by the rules. Gail's book taught me that God is just guiding us and we must follow our own instincts.

I now believe that the Lord is watching over us and that my child will be there when the time is right for me to join her. Meanwhile I am here for a reason and I hope to fulfill what ever reason that is.

I hope that everyone has a chance to learn from Gail's book"On a Wing and a Prayer". I did and I am now trying to live my life better and reach out to other people. Thanks Gail, for teaching me so much and I pray that you are around along time to guide many of us who have lost our way.

"Survival: On a Wing and a Prayer."

Gail, let me first say I truly admire the courage it took to write this book. Although we have talked about your childhood abuse, both physical and sexual, I had no idea of the horrific extent. Being able to write about it all must have been extremely empowering. As for the cases we worked together, you have described them accurately in the book. However, I still don’t remember, “barking” at you. I was just thinking of your safety, Jerkey! I was a little surprised not to find one case that you blew me away with. I called to ask what you thought about a missing 19-year-old Yeshiva student. We both knew things didn’t look good. You gave me some thoughts and a number. The full moon and low tide were coming in a day or two and sure enough he washed up at the number of the street you gave me. Now that was good!

Gail, I thought your book was the BEST I ever read, its a book that you want to read over again. I feel very Blessed that I know you and we have been friends for a long time. Again I want to Thank You for putting your life out there and writing such a Wonderful and Honest Book.

Maureen Ryan  Jim Thorpe, Pa

Hi Gail,

Good to hear from you. I purchased your book from Barnes & Noble

Wow, such a life. 1st I hope you have beat the cancer for good. I can't but I can picture you driving those buses.

This road of life certainly has a lot of twists & turns in it, definitely not as I envisioned my life would be.

Your book is very profound and I know I have to read it several more times to absorb some of it. I'm sorry for many of the pains that you have had to endure in your life but you seem to now be on a good path.

Your parts about our elementary school years and Holy Family Church brought back a lot of memories. I don't remember you being a bully, you never were to me!

I believe in angels and that the spirits of those who have passed are around us. However I was thrown by the animal guides, I am familiar with American Indians having them but thought they only had one, so this was definitely something new for me to reflect on.( again as I reread your book I am sure I will learn more).

This probably sounds a bit corny, but I am proud of you and happy to say that I knew you when we were in school.. I have told my friends and sisters about you and your book. My sister wants to borrow the book ( I will let her after I reread it but she will have to return it to me) God Bless

Doris Wilson

Hi Gail,

  I just wanted to thank you for the reading last week.  I just finished reading your book and found we have a lot in common, more than I thought.  I  was a Prosecutor's office county detective for almost 30 years.  John, the love of my life, was also a NJ state trooper.  He died of liver cancer in 1997 and I have missed him everyday of my life.  My mother and I had a cool relationship.  I never felt any love from her at all, not until she was in her eighties and saw that I was not her enemy.  So you see, we do have a few things in common.

  I really enjoyed your book, but felt great sadness while I read it.  I wish you could have had a better life.

  I also noted that your birthday is tomorrow, so I want to wish you the very best:  health, happiness and may a special love come in to your life at this time.  I finally met that guy Bob yesterday and we really seemed to hit it off well.  Hope it works for me.  After he left, I found a dime on the floor.  Was that John telling me it's ok?  I feel his spirit around me all the time now. Maybe I just wasn't listening or ready to listen.  You know how skeptical we police officers are. 

  Anyway, thank you again. I hope your move is a successful, happy one and please let me know if you are ever up this way again.  I don't think I will be going to N Carolina anytime soon, but you never know.

  Happy birthday Gail.

Lois Freehold, NJ

Hi Gail,

     I cannot thank you enough for inviting me into your lovely home for a reading. Especially when you were so busy trying to pack etc. for your upcoming move. It also got me a copy of your book and I must tell you I am so amazed at your life story. You appeared to me to be a gracious lady caring for people and there needs. I was so saddened to read of your childhood existence. But you are truly loved by many that you have helped heal the loss of a loved one. I was so glad to know my mother cared how I felt even today. Thank you for bringing my husband to me again. It was so rewarding for me. I look forward to seeing you again when you are settled in your new home.

Catherine,  NJ

Hi Gail,

 I received your book yesterday in the  mail and I thank you very much. Also I want to wish you all the luck in the world in what you do. So many people have the closure because of you.

 I for one enjoyed talking to you. You are a fine lady and very compassionate person. Thank you again for all your time. ( I did take a great deal of it) God Bless

Chris Freehold, NJ

IN MEMORY OF A GOOD FRIEND CHRIS DEVANEY WHO HAS SINCE PASSED AWAY:

Wow, talk about an emotional past. I don't know what I would have done if my mother were anywhere near the way your Mom was. Looking back, I got wholloped a few times, but in retrospect, I had a mouth on me and I deserved each one, and my Mom always came into my room afterward and told me she loved me. I do the same with PJ. I try real hard not to scream at him, but he pushes until I do, and sometimes a swat across the mouth too, but I always hug him and tell him I love him, that he's not bad -- he just does bad things sometimes and that's what I get angry at. I just can't imagine being constantly berated and not knowing why, and not being comforted afterward. My heart certainly goes out to you.

I'm so glad you got together with your son and finally met your grandson! I wasn't clear on whether or not the book had anything to do with it? This was before it printed though, right?
No luck with your daughter?

I bawled my eyes out about the cats. I remember every one of my dogs and cats, and cry for each one, knowing I could have treated them better, hugged them more or just done something different. My 2 cats made it to 16, as did my dog. Our last cat Spooky only made it to 7. The vet was unsure as to whether or not he had cancer, the expensive testing was supposed to be decisive, it wasn't, and it all boiled down to -- do we make him suffer more with a biopsy, feeding tubes and medications which may not help at all, or let him go. I held that precious little head, as I did so many of our animals' in my life, until his earthbound life was gone. And for quite a while afterward, both Paul and I felt him on the bed, and heard him here and there. I miss having an animal so bad, but having felt the last heartbeat of at least 7 of 12 animals since my 20's is too much for me. Mom's dog Buffy has Cushing's, and we're always on guard to have him put to sleep.

I have to admit to you, I can't give you an honest, true appraisal of the entire book itself, because I'm in a little 'crisis of Faith' and the references to God showing the way, giving signs and being that loving nonjudgmental Father leaves me a little flat right now. I go through my day begging for just little tiny bits of help, and only wind up with further hindrances. I know, truthfully, that I'm asking for things that I most likely could resolve if I either just opened my mouth or just got up off my ass and started doing something about, but I'm in such a funk about my house, my physical problems, and my inability to help my Mom out by doing stuff for her, that I have to blame someone other than me, so who best to blame ? God, who at this time I perceive not to be answering my requests with anything but "No."
Shit, sorry about that. This is about you, not me.

I'm trying to get Paul to read the book, he doesn't read much of anything, ADD and dyslexia. But I'll keep trying.

Well, have a good 'rest of the weekend' and take care. Think of a time when we can get together for dinner again!

Agi Simoncelli  NJ

Hi Gail:

Just wanted to let you know I received your book in the mail and finisthed it in two days.  I really enjoyed reading the book for many reasons.   I believe this book will touch many people. Thanks for having the courage to write it. I truly appreciate what you do. Your healing touches so many. Hope to see you soon.

Take care and Happy New Year!

Antoinette Hackenberg, Clark, NJ

Hello Gail, As per our last conversation, you ask that I give you my feedback on your book. I personally enjoyed reading Survival. Maybe somehow I could relate to bits and pieces of your book and somehow know some of the pain you had to endure. I respect the honesty you put into the book. You told it like it was. I respect that in a person. I would like to think that by you doing what you did growing up and the tough times, gave you the strength to do what you do today. Maybe being a bully as a child you can stand up to those adult bully's(skeptics) today. You seem to have the answers for them in your book.

Your experiences with the other side in helping families finding those who were lost interested me the most. Without your help these people would have no closure. And again you had all the answers to the skeptics.

You had me crying with your cats. I remembered my  favorite cat Tom. He was one of those bob-tailed cats. I probably was in the second grade. He would walk to school with me in the mornings just meowing away. I think maybe we were talking. And after school he would be waiting for me to take that long walk home. Sometimes he would meet me half way if he was running late. He was my one true friend as a child.

I read books very little. I enjoy television more so. If I do read a book, which I should do more of, I only read what really interest me. I found your book interesting and brought out some emotional feelings. I laughed and I cried. I wanted to mention also, that my mother would have a met-life man come to our house. As a little girl, I thought maybe my mom had a boyfriend who would come to see her. I wonder if he was the same man.

Well before I end up writing a book in this letter, Let me say once again I truly enjoyed the book. Thank you for writing it . As for the ending. I had mixed emotions to you wanting to commit suicide. Then I thought to myself. I am doing suicide slowly with my nicotine addiction. I have to work on that.

God Bless and keep up your wonderful work

Nellanne Hess Bayville, NJ

Hi Gail,

I did receive a book, but you did not write my name in it- since you have it, pleasee ship it to me and i will send you a check for it- remind me- how much is the book. I did start reading your book- lots of emotions started rising up in me- when you talk about your mother breaking your nose- my father broke my nose because i was not loading the dishes correctly in the dishwasher. he would hit me with his belts and even hit me on the head with the oven racks- i despised him when he was alive, so that is why i first came to see you- to get some closure and i found through him passing over, i finally do have a father who loved me- his gambling got in the way of loving me. when you talk about abortion- i had one when i was very young and knew i could not properly take care of a baby. thank you for bringing that subject up- i have never felt guilty, but sometimes i feel the problems i am having from my oldest son is god's way of retaliation. anyway, i love your book so far, about 2/3 done- so pls e-mail me and will send off a check for a second book - the one you wrote my name in.    take care.

Jeanne Johnston NJ

Hi Gail,

     I just finished your book.  I have so many thoughts going on in my head right now I don't know where to begin.  Ok, first I want to say how amazed I am with you and how well you really did handle your life.  I know you had a REALLY hard early life, but you are an amazing woman who really has come out of it all well.  I was so sad reading about what your mother did to you all the time, and then I cried with all the sexual abuse you went through.  I always knew my mother loved me deep down, but never felt it as a child.  I always felt in her wayshe loved me.  I know that doesn't come anywhere near what went on with you, but I always kind of felt not wanted. 

     Your work with law enforcement really is something.  I know you said in your book that people who think this is a gift may see about that, but I still think it IS a gift from God and He only gives these gifts to people who can handle it.  You really have done alot of good with helping solve cases and helping their families get closure. 

     I just totally love that you can speak with animals.  Shannon (my daughter) also loves this.  By the way, she so enjoyed speaking with you on Dec 26th.  It was so nice for her to be able to understand more about herself and that she has the gift too.  I hope she will decide to use it one day.  She has told me that you told her she has the gift to heal too like you.  That was so good for her to hear.  For years whenever I am hurting I have always asked her to rub the area and she does help it feel better.  She kind of thought that was funny in a way.

     I was so surprised that you felt like taking your life at the end of this book.  I can only thank God and your guilds for having you see not to.  When I think about you and speak to my friends about you we all say what an amazing person you are.  Your strength is what makes us feel better.  We all can see in your eyes what a wonderful person you are and how you REALLY want to help us all.  I had never been to a psychic before.  I was always afraid of it.  I wasn't worried about it being evil like the church teaches (I never listen to the church I go there, but don't believe half of what they preach).  I was more worried that you may not be really good.  My friend, Laura,had known that I was VERY big into spirits and my family who have passed and said I should see you.  I went with her to your dinner in Sept and within 5 minutes I knew I had to see you for a private reading.  That reading was like a turning point in my life and I thank you for it more than anything.  I always knew the people who came through were with me, but it was so nice to hear from them all.

     One major thing your book taught me was that even though I wasn't the best person years ago (ok so I was also a bully, and just a REALLY bad person) I know that I am forgiven for it (I have prayed for that forgiveness for years) and now can be good.  I have to say that having my kids really changed me for the good.  I never wanted them to see what I was like because I never want them to be like that.  I must be doing something right because they are the total opposite of what I was like as a kid and I am more than thankful for that.

      Well I guess I have babbled enough for you. LOL.  I really did love your book and still think you have an amazing gift.  Thanks for sharing your life with me.  I really learned alot.  I wish you a lifetime of peace and love and am looking forward to the day I can see you again.  Believe it or not I feel as if I have known you forever.  Maybe someday I will be regressed into another life and see you there.  It would be cool.

Take care and be well

Gail,

Thank you for writing your book, "Survival: On a Wing and a Prayer." Your story is a testament to how someone can rise above their physical and emotional environments and learn to cope and manage the challenges that are presented throughout their life.

You are blessed to have been open-minded enough to allow your Guides to help you along your path. Your insight, along Janet Cunningham's commentary, paint a picture of how trial and success shape our lives, and our NEXT lives!

I have known you for quite a few years and have the greatest respect your gifts (and not just the psychic ones!). I have seen you bring closure to some, and peace to many. I am grateful to Grey Wolf for keeping a watch over you and filling your day with laughter, guidance, and insight.

Knowing your past allows me to see deeper into who you are, and how far you have come. Thank you for bringing us all along on your journey.

Carol Costello Winter Haven, Florida

Just started and finished your book tonight!  I found it very interesting. I was born in Irvington and raised at the Jersey shore.  My parents are both buried at Cedarwood Cemetary, Keyport. Right across from Academy Bus Company, small world.  My Sister and Neice are great fans and have been to your group readings many times.  I am looking forward to meeting you one of these days!

Angel Guazzo Palm Coast, Fl

Gail,

I want to start off with saying , Thank You for Your Book "Survival On A Wing and a Prayer"

We go back many years to Good Ole Raritan H.S. I always knew when you were out to find someone,, You would be standing in the halls "Just Looking", I would say,,"Oh Boy,, someone is in for it,, Gail is on the Lookout". By the end of the day we would hear you found that person. Who would have ever thought you would be in the place your in today. You have changed your life in so many ways, and all for the GOOD. I'm also so glad that I went on Classmates.com, because you found me ther, and after almost 30 yrs we reconnected, it was so great to see you after all that time.

Now I want to Thank You for ALL your help along My path in this life. You have brought closure to me and reace of mind , and I have to really Thank You for that, I Feel Blessed to know You.

May God Keep You Safe Always

Diana Scotch Plains, NJ

Dear Gail,

 I recently finished reading your book. It was incredible!  There were several places in the book that were so moving, I cried openly. I thought about how we struggle through difficult times, only to realize later that they were fertile personal growth opportunities, if we can see past the pain.  I learned so much and am comforted by the knowledge that we are not alone. Thank you for having the courage to share your amazing story.

Barbara Hayden Ocean Grove , NJ

Dear Gail Lionetti,

   I just finished reading "On A Wing and A Prayer". I work with Anna W. and she speaks highly of you. Thank you for being kind in taking the time to sign a copy of your book for me. I appreciate your honesty in sharing about your life.

   The part of the book that caused me to take particular notice is when you mentioned the behavior of children that are destined for a spiritual "connection" of some sort. I was a child who spent time alone and in my "own world". I felt a strong connection to God as a child and lost that as I got older. I'm fortunate in that I've been able to renew that connection and improve upon it through continued recovery from alcoholism with a twelve step recovery program. I've sought many avenues toward spiritual growth in my recovery and have found each one helpful.

   My goal today is to maintain, cultivate, and continue to improve my spiritual connection; in the hopes of helping others. I, too, am disappointed in the "rules" of religion, but relieved that religion isn't a requirement to pursue a spiritual life.

    Thank you for your courage in sharing with others. I admire your willingness to share your gift, give of yourself, and talk honestly about the "bumps" in the road.

    May your life have much joy and happiness.

Hi Gail,

This note is to convey my appreciation and thoughts on the reading of "On a Wing and a Prayer".

I could not of imagined another person having had such a simular life experience as to mirror my own life.  I felt as if I was reading my own autobiography (spiritually aside, although it's coming on strong)!  Our stories may differ slightly, but the theme is all too familiar.

Since I had met with you previously to reading your book, my perception of you has changed.  Your candid and often painful portrayal in the writing of this book was cleansing for me as a reader.  I know this will be the case for many other readers as well.

As a medium, teacher and as an author you have touched me deeply and profoundly.  And that is no coincidance!  Thanks.  Much love

PS: Am looking forward to your next book

Walt Ryon,  NJ

Hi Gail

Actually what I meant by that was what I had told Irene when I got home from our reading, that you're just an ordinary person with their own dilemmas and challenges.  During our first experience you're powerful personality is undeniable.  I have met few people with such a strong persona.  It's just that you seemed somewhat invincible especially considering your gift.  And that is what I meant by seeing you in a different light through your book.  To hear your story and realize your immense struggles is what hit home with me. To view your past on a level alongside mine made things more real to me.  Your writing is simple and straightforward and mirrors who you are.  As many people must do, I was seeing you in a way based only on your reading and not considering that you could suffer as anyone else.  Your gift tends to overshadow yourself unless of course someone reads your book. I just can't reiterate enough how closely our lives have paralleled one another.  I am amazed someone sees so many things in the same light.  Good, bad or indifferent as in our longing to move onto the next stage, I just wish I had your insight....Be careful of what I wish for right?  Time to go.....Ghost Whisperer is on!  Hope I didn't offend you, my social skills are laking in communicating fully to others.  I often assume too much of what  I think internally is acknowledged. 

How did you like "Earl"?.. one of the best ever!  Right up my alley with the cops...LOL

Gail,

On a recent trip to Texas , I had the opportunity to read your book "Survival:  On A Wing and A Prayer".  Needless to say, I couldn't put it down - and if I hadn't finished it before we landed, they would have had to drag me off the plane.

Your book is a wonderful account of how gifted you really are and how incredible your journey must have been - with so many barriers put in your way.  Despite the fact, that I grew up in a nurturing "Ozzie and Harriet" home, I found myself relating to so much of your story.  I grew up in the same time frame and very close to where you grew up, so the world on the outside was very similar.  I too was a single mom with few, but passionate loves in my life.  I have always believed that people come into your life and things happen for a reason.  Your book and words have reinforced that there are no coincidences. 

Your description of the feeling you had growing up really helped me to better understand some of my own son's feelings.  He too doesn't understand what he's doing wrong and has been diagnosed with ADHD as well as other disorders.  He plays for hours by himself and yet is always talking as though others are with him.  I know he is gifted and now wonder whether he is talking to angels.  He speaks with a certainty that is way beyond his years.   I can't wait for him to meet you and you him.

I loved the book, I admire how far you've come and I look forward to seeing where you go.  Your love of and understanding of children and animals is so precious - no wonder they speak to you.  You know how much I miss my Patches, but after 20 years, I always felt that she was with me when I needed her most.

Just for fun, I loved that you mentioned pussy willows - I don't even think kids today know what they are.  I was a collegiate, but I had many friends who were greasers.  I was so afraid of my religious education teacher, that I passed out at my First Holy Communion.  Fear and guilt were real challenges when we were growing up. 

Thank you again, Gail, for writing your book, for being my friend and for helping so many others to find comfort.  While I'm sorry you went through so much growing up, I'm sure it helped to make you the wonderful person you are today.

Carol

Hi Gail,

Thank you for everything!!  I read your book and cannot believe what you went through in life.  It's wonderful to know that you turned out so well under all that physical and emotion abuse you went through.

When Luz and I left you that day we felt wonderful!!!!!!!  It's always great seeing you and getting such great messages from the other side.  I hope to see you soon!

I know one lucky little guy and he's waiting for you!  He's very lucky to have a great Grandma!!!

Gail, your book gave such insight into this life and the next.  I was saddened by your childhood and so proud of you for becoming such a special person.  You gave me hope to get through everything that comes along.  You and I are girls of the 1960\'s, and your life made me think of a Beatles song I love, \"Hey Jude\" when Paul McCartney says, \"take a sad song and make it better.\"  You certainly did that.  Your story brought tears and laughter and hope.  Thanks for writing it and sharing your life so openly.  I feel there is a lot of good to come for you now, and you might just have to write another book.  You answered a question, when we talked, that I have ached in my heart about for so many years.  You will never know how much that meant to me.  Thank you so much.  May God bless you in this new chapter of your life.

I was so surprised that you felt like taking your life at the end of this book. I can only thank God and your guilds for having you see not to. When I think about you and speak to my friends about you we all say what an amazing person you are. Your strength is what makes us feel better. We all can see in your eyes what a wonderful person you are and how you REALLY want to help us all. I had never been to a psychic before. I was always afraid of it. I wasn't worried about it being evil like the church teaches (I never listen to the church I go there, but don't believe half of what they preach). I was more worried that you may not be really good. My friend, Laura,had known that I was VERY big into spirits and my family who have passed and said I should see you. I went with her to your dinner in Sept and within 5 minutes I knew I had to see you for a private reading. That reading was like a turning point in my life and I thank you for it more than anything. I always knew the people who came through were with me, but it was so nice to hear from them all.

One major thing your book taught me was that even though I wasn't the best person years ago (ok so I was also a bully, and just a REALLY bad person) I know that I am forgiven for it (I have prayed for that forgiveness for years) and now can be good. I have to say that having my kids really changed me for the good. I never wanted them to see what I was like because I never want them to be like that. I must be doing something right because they are the total opposite of what I was like as a kid and I am more than thankful for that.

Well I guess I have babbled enough for you. LOL. I really did love your book and still think you have an amazing gift. Thanks for sharing your life with me. I really learned alot. I wish you a lifetime of peace and love and am looking forward to the day I can see you again. Believe it or not I feel as if I have known you forever. Maybe someday I will be regressed into another life and see you there. It would be cool.

Take care and be well

Hello Gail, As per our last conversation, you ask that I give you my feedback on your book. I personally enjoyed reading Survival. Maybe somehow I could relate to bits and pieces of your book and somehow know some of the pain you had to endure. I respect the honesty you put into the book. You told it like it was. I respect that in a person. I would like to think that by you doing what you did growing up and the tough times, gave you the strength to do what you do today. Maybe being a bully as a child you can stand up to those adult bully's(skeptics) today. You seem to have the answers for them in your book.

Your experiences with the other side in helping families finding those who were lost interested me the most. Without your help these people would have no closure. And again you had all the answers to the skeptics.

You had me crying with your cats. I remembered my favorite cat Tom. He was one of those bob-tailed cats. I probably was in the second grade. He would walk to school with me in the mornings just meowing away. I think maybe we were talking. And after school he would be waiting for me to take that long walk home. Sometimes he would meet me half way if he was running late. He was my one true friend as a child.

I read books very little. I enjoy television more so. If I do read a book, which I should do more of, I only read what really interest me. I found your book interesting and brought out some emotional feelings. I laughed and I cried. I wanted to mention also, that my mother would have a met-life man come to our house. As a little girl, I thought maybe my mom had a boyfriend who would come to see her. I wonder if he was the same man.

Well before I end up writing a book in this letter, Let me say once again I truly enjoyed the book. Thank you for writing it . As for the ending. I had mixed emotions to you wanting to commit suicide. Then I thought to myself. I am doing suicide slowly with my nicotine addiction. I have to work on that.

God Bless and keep up your wonderful work

I for one enjoyed talking to you. You are a fine lady and very compassionate person. Thank you again for all your time. ( I did take a great deal of it) God Bless

Hi, the book was great, very interesting. When reading the beginning I was thinking how although your situation was EXTREME, many of my students have situation that are so hard as well. As you said, now there are laws where school employees are obliged to call, yet that incident in NY just happened.

We are born to people with baggage and unless we make a conscious effort to not perpetuate our own baggage, it does not end.

Also, it was so interesting to me that there were times when your abilities were dormant, I find that so confusing. The with craft guilt part is my upbringing, EXACTLY, however, not anymore. There were certainly some surprises at the end, but I am glad you are feeling well and knowing that you are loved. I am most happy that you got to see your son and grandson!! All in all it was great, and the repeated lesson that it is NEVER too late is one that I will continue to pass on to the students that I counsel. Good luck and God Bless.

I would like to order a book for my friend, Patricia, she is a tarot card reader and we talk but have not seen each other, this will be her belated Christmas gift. Can you write something for her in the beginning, as well. Gail, we all value you, your gift and the way in which youuse it. Take care, and let me know when I can pick up her book. After we talk, it usually reinforces in my mind not to give up, to realize I do have help on the other side, and the meaning of life is not what we all get caught up. You just being you, reinforce this for me without realizing it. Gail, try to slow down, you seem like things need to slow a bit or you need to refuse a few engagements, readings or whatever, I do not know, but take time for yourself, you need it.

Gail's new book "On a Wing and a Prayer" is the story of a girl from a troubled home growing up in New Jersey during the 1950's. We all reminisce about how much better life was before the electronic revolution of cell phones, I pods and personal computers. " On a Wing and a Prayer" shows us that growing up wasn't so simple for Gail. Many of us identify with some of Gail's experiences as a child. It was a simpler time. Corporal punishment was accepted as the norm and many of us experienced it first hand. Gail's experience however, was beyond corporal
punishment. Other chapters in the book tell about Gail discovering her psychic ability and how she has used it to help people. This book was very personal to me. I went to high school with Gail and although we were not close friends in school, we became good friends after our twenty five year reunion. I believe "On a Wing and a Prayer" shows how Gail was able to take all the conflicts with her mother, her medical experiences, social relationships and mold them into a deeply religious, caring, wonderful individual.
