My heartfelt sympathy to Gail's family. I met Gail ten years ago while working with her during summer school. What a wonderful person! I will remember her as one of the most giving people I have ever known. Gail was always eager to help in any way she could, with suggestions or advice, or by just being ready to listen. And of course, her baked goods treats were always helpful! I will also remember her unwavering dedication to her students. She was inspiring and kind and fun and generous and I will miss her.

"It only takes a spark to get a fire going, and soon all those around can warm up in its glowing. That's how it is with God's love once you've experienced it; you spread his love to everyone; you want to pass it on." This is how Gail lived her life. She truly lived her life in such a way that those who knew her, but didn't know God, came to know God because they knew her. Gail - you were an angel on earth - one of God's chosen who set a standard that so many of us can only hope to attain. The love you have shown to family, friends, children, and even strangers, will never be forgotten. My only hope is that we who knew you and were touched by you can also "pass it on." Gail, you will be sorely missed...until we meet again...Michelle

"Some people come into our lives and we are never the same." Gail certainly was one of those people. The lives she touched are countless and her impact will never be fully understood. I can't help but smile each and every time I think of her. I am blessed to have known her. I intend to "pull a Gail" as often as possible. Thank you Gail.

This is for all of you who's hearts are hurt and suffering from the great void left by Gails going home. I believe she would want you all to read this. God's Tears "Jesus wept." (John 11:35) In C.S. Lewis' story The Magician's Nephew, Digory recalled his terminally ill mother and how his hopes were all dying away. With a lump in his throat and tears in his eyes, he blurted out to Aslan, the great lion who represents Christ, "Please, please --- won't you --- can't you give me something that will cure Mother?" Then, in his despair, Digory looked up at Aslan's face. "Great shining tears stood in the Lion's eyes. They were such big tears compared with Digory's own that for a moment he felt as if the Lion must really be sorrier about his Mother than he was himself. 'My son, my son,' said Aslan. 'I know. Grief is great. Only you and I in this land know that yet. Let us be good to one another.' " I think of Jesus' tears at Lazarus' grave (John 11:35). I believe He wept for Lazarus as well as for Mary and Martha and their grief. Later, Jesus wept over Jerusalem (Luke 19:41-44). And He knows and shares our grief today. But as He promised, we will see Him again in the place He's preparing for us (John 14:3). In heaven, our grief will end. "God will wipe away every tear from [our] eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying" (Rev. 21:4). He knows our burdens and our crosses, Those things that hurt, our trials and losses, He cares for every soul that cries, God wipes the tears from weeping eyes. --Brandt _________________________________________________________________________________________ If you doubt that Jesus cares, remember His tears.

Gail Crimmins was a bright shining star at Black River Elementary School. I remember Ms. Crimmins when she was my son's (Brian Meador) special education teacher. She had a laugh that could fill the room and a presence that made you feel that she truly loved the children she worked with. She wasn't afraid to speak up for her kids at Committee on Special Education meetings and she pushed her students to succeed. I am going to miss Ms. Crimmins. She is one of those people that when they pass, the world feels just a little bit emptier.

I am writing this on behalf of my son, Ryan Queary, who was blessed to have Ms. Crimmins last year at BRE. He, as well as his father and I, were deeply saddened to hear of her sudden passing. She was a very special teacher. She and Ryan corresponded over the summer because she didn't want his writing to be effected by the extended break. What a special person to go so far above and beyond her teaching responsibilities. I know that Ryan holds a special place in his heart for her and he will always remember her fondly. Ryan especially remembers her laugh and unique teaching style. We will miss you. Thank you for being such a great inspiration for our son. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family, but we know she is in heaven now teaching and laughing. Tammy, Paul and Ryan Queary

Our deepest sympathies and prayers for healing to all of Gail's family and friends. You didn't have to know Gail well to know what she was all about. As a parent, I never really got to know Gail well at all. Last year I began substitute teaching and subbed for her a couple of times. Just being at her desk, you knew immediately the kind of person Gail was and what she believed in. Her students were her top priority and she treated all with fairness and love. I knew that I wanted my son, who entered 5th grade this year, to be in the room she was in. Her quiet and genuine ways of giving encouragement will never be forgotten by Kevin. Or any of us for that matter. She was a shining example of what teaching should be about and she will be dearly missed. Black River Elementary has its own angel who has spread her wings and flown to a better place. God Bless you Gail! With love and prayers from the McCullouch Family

Dear Karen, Les & family, I was shocked to read the news! My prayers to all of you at this very, very difficult time. Gail's sense of humor is what got to me. I tried to emulate her style, her way! I was just in awe of her, her accomplishments just everything about her! I went to work at Herkimer Co BOCES and I'd think of Gail and how she would be handling it. She was much better at it than I was I'm sure! But I tried my best and all because we both have that kind of stuff in us. If she came close to touching those lives like she touched mine, the world is certainly a better place! And what a shocker! I love you all, make no mistake about it. I'm so sorry I can't be there but know that I'm there is spirit and my heart goes out to all of you! Amy

My deepest sympathy to the Crimmins family. I met Gail as a first year teacher in 1995. She pushed into my class one period each day. At first I was nervous as a first year teacher to have someone else in my class....but that lasted all of about one day...because as I soon realized, it was her sense of humor and easy going nature that was going to help me make it through that first year. First year teaching is difficult and to have someone believe in you and encourage you is a gift you never forget. I will always be grateful but sad I never expressed her impact on my first year of teaching. She was a wonderful lady and will truly be missed.

Ms. Crimmins helped me realize that just because I learned differently than other kids, that there is nothing wrong with me. She always told me that I was a really smart kid, even when I didn?t think so, but she always believed in me. Ms. Crimmins was more than just a teacher to me, she was my friend, she told the best jokes and could always make me laugh. I will miss her so much, and if I could just tell her one more time, thank you for everything.

When I saw Gail's name in the obituaries I couldn't believe it. Very unexpected leaving with feelings of confusion and disbelief. I was a student in her Special Education class that she taught through Potsdam @ JCC some 5 years ago. What I remember the most about her, and still carry with me today, is the fact that she knew what was important in life. This class is one that I remember with clarity, right down to the times that she let us that were student teaching miss class to attend our students' Open House. I recall the projects we completed, but most importantly, I am still using this information today and still have references from that class that I refer to today. I mostly remember a personal note I received from Gail providing encouragement and recognition at the closure of our class. I still have this note and smile every time I see it! A sign of a great teacher is being able to affect a person's life even after they are no longer in your life. This will remain true for Gail. I am sadden by this news and know that other students from Gail's years of teaching feel the same way. God Bless you Gail. I only hope that I can touch students' lives in the manner that you have!!!! God Bless!

In the nine short years of knowing Gail, she has taught me to become a better person, and how to give. She has not only taught me the importance of giving, but she has also taught many faculty members, students, and nearly everyone she came into contact with. I remember meeting Gail when I was only in 4th grade, the year my mother started teaching at Black River, and being so surprised that she could relate to me so well, and hold my attention like a person my own age could. My mother spent many weekends with Gail doing numerous activities, sometimes trips to Syracuse, going out to dinner, craft fairs, or simply driving around and seeing where they would end up. On these occasions, I remember asking my mom to let me come with them, because I simply loved being around her. She was an all around amazing person, with a sense of humor to turn any bad day around. In 9 short years, she became a member of my family, and made her own connection with each and every one of my family members, near or far. Yesterday, we lost a part of our family, and we will be at loss until we can all see her again. We love and miss you Gail, and we will keep you in our hearts forever. Love, "Brookside"

I only knew Gail a short time, but I will never forget how kind she was to me during my first year of teaching at Black River Elementary. She always seemed to know when you needed those few words of encouragement. I remember coming in to school one morning as I was struggling to get through my first year of teaching...I opened my email and there was a message from Gail. I opened it and read through the poem she had sent me...words of encouragement for a first year teacher. I always wondered how she knew I needed those words on that particular day. Thank you Gail. I will never forget your kindness.

When I began teaching at Carthage years ago Gail introduced herself, offered support, and told me she was there if I needed her. And that was Gail...there for all, always. She inspired her children to learn. She inspired teachers to teach. She inspired those around her to embrace life and enjoy it to its fullest. That laugh of Gail's rang through a room, even an auditorium! It was the laugh of one who FELT the joy of living. A teacher can hope to touch lives and make an impact. Gail did that everyday. I am so sad that Gail won't be here with us anymore. I will miss her, and I feel fortunate to have known her and to have had her in my life. She was one of the "good people" who make the world a better place. Godspeed, Gail. We will all miss you.

She knew when there was a time to be serious and a time to be downright funny, and i dont think i have ever met someone in my life that could turn my worst day into the best day on earth. She knew everything to say to get a smile on my face and my dimples showing. She was loved by all. and i dont think theres going to be a time when shes not missed. She was an inspiration to all. & made me see clearly of what was coming my way in middle school. She was an outstanding teacher, and i cant explain how much i thank her.

To Gail's family at home and school... Today I am deeply saddened by the sudden passing of my dear friend Gail. At the same time and more importantly I feel truly blessed and loved. Yes, I am blessed to have known and worked with Gail for many years at Black River School. Gail was a magician in the classroom. She turned the most boring lessons into magic and fun. At the same time, Gail expected her students to achieve at their highest level. Gail never asked anything for herself always for the children, her children. Gail's laugh was heard from room to room throughout the hallways. It put a smile on everyone's face. Gail worked endless hours at school because she loved her job. If a co-worker was having a personal problem Gail would quietly offer a helping hand with a note of encouragement or just a whisper "I'm here if you need me." .. Her time was much too short but oh how blessed we all are. Yes, we are all lucky and blessed to have walked this time on earth with Gail.. We are fortunate to have known her and hopefully learn to give of ourselves unselfishly as Gail gave of herself. The angels in heaven cried yesterday morning because we lost an angel on earth. My thoughts and prayers are with her family at home and the children and staff at Black River School.. God Bless , Patty Ventiquattro 2V

Gail was one of the most loving caring people I have ever met. She was a very special person and friend to me and I will always miss her so very much. She was the weight recorder of out Tops group#153 Carthage. She was a friend to all the groups in our areara and I know they will miss her as much as we will. She was always there when she was called upon. We also thought of her as family and thank you her family for sharing her with us for so short a time. I personally loved Gail as a younger sister and will miss her so very much, Rest in peace Gail and God Bless you. You were a angel.

Words will never convey how deep our loss will be felt at Black River Elementary. Gail was the brightest light for not only her students, but the many staff who considered her a dear friend. Gail had a unique way of making all of us feel connected to her. She had this quiet way of finding something that would be just between the two of you, and then she would never forget and always ask you how things were going. Her heart was enormous! I have never met another person who was so giving in such a quiet, selfless way. I think all of us felt good knowing that Gail was in our corner. All of the children that Gail worked with over the many years are so blessed to have had such a loving, positive force in their lives. She truly loved kids and wanted the best for them. There is just no way to tell you how much we are going to miss her.

To the Crimmins family my deepest sympathies. I remember Gail from when Debbie Sadlon and I used to hang out together and from when Mrs Crimmins lived next door to my parents on Alexander Street. Gail was a very nice and sweet lady. May your memories help you thru this difficult time
