Mrs. Moak was my senior English teacher in 1999-2000. I've been a high school teacher for almost twenty years now and I think of her often. I was a pretty smart kid but still super intimidated about going to college. One day, while asking her to write my college's recommendation, I told her that I didn't think I'd be successful in college. She gave me a pep talk that I can remember almost word-for-word to this day. I have wonderful parents that believed in me but Mrs. Moak gave me the extra boost of confidence I needed to move forward. I graduated from UT Austin with a BA in Spanish and started teaching school Spanish right out of college. I hope I can honor her by believing in my students the way she believed in us. Thanks for sharing your mom and grandma with all of us for so many years! She truly made the world a better place.

“All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;” - As You Like It
Your classroom stage was my favorite place to be and I’m infinitely grateful to have learned to love literature and grammar from you. Hand written research papers and reading challenging works taught me invaluable life habits of working hard and enjoying the journey. I think of you often and smile remembering your wisdom and enthusiasm for your craft. Much love, Brooke
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

What a sweet lady, Gayle is. We so enjoyed having her come in our office, she never wanted to complain, just wanted to hear a little better. Thank you for sharing her with us.

I spent 2 wonderful fairly crazy years as Gayle's roommate at Sam Houston. She was amazing in every way; funny, steadfast, encouraging. I loved her and rejoiced in her success as an educator - a profession she was born for.
She was a light in my life that continues to shine.

Our prayers are with Gayle's family at this hard time. We knew Gayle and Tom when we lived in Waco, TX and all attended Calvary Baptist Church there. We adopted Gayle's practice of having a "grandparents' camp" in the summer. We named the camp we had for our granddaughters for several years Camp Petunia. Grace and peace.

Gayle, you will be missed but you have gained your heavenly wings and will be rejoicing in heaven. You will now be the light from heaven shining upon your family and will be a guardian angel 🌸

My Aunt Gayle was very special to me. She taught me yo make pecan pie. She always made one each time we came to visit. She also taught me how to visit with family and grade papers at the same time. (Very talented) She entertained me by quoting Shakespeare and Chaucer with a dramatic flair and English accent to boot. I will miss her so much and had been planning a trip to visit her in August. She will be missed so very much. 🥰
