This post had to go in the Angels category because the world has lost a dear Angel this week
... 
We are just devastated by the news of Gail's passing. She was always such a dear person and
the best friend a person could ever have. Even though we lived thousands of miles away from
her, we have been so very blessed to have the opportunity to meet her in person so many times.
She will be missed by all who knew her.
In all the photos I have from the get together's in Alabama, I couldn’t find any photos of Gail
where she wasn’t smiling. That was her, just bubbly and happy and I think she was in pure
bliss when she could make those around her happy too.

So many friends at the get together. That looks like Hey Hey Paula(left), Green Eyed
Froggy, then Gail in the yellow blouse. In the background is Katsho, Two Spirit and many
others.
Karaoke Night at the Bama Blast, and Gail of course was right in the middle of it all having
a blast !!!
I wish I had a photo of Gail and Art (Wooden Nickel) together. Now there is where the real
fireworks started. A romance that would bring two amazing people together and complete
their lives. I once asked Art what his life would have been like if he had not come to that
Get Together, and his answer was one short word that spoke volumes ... "Empty".
Our dearest Gail was a key and central part of USM and the USM 'Bad Girls' .. later to be renamed
the 'Rad Girls'. I had no idea all those years ago when they started their club of USM-ers, what
they were really up too. They did so many things behind the scenes that were amazing, but
they didn't want the credit for it. Sending cheerful messages to USM-ers that needed a
pick-me-up. They even shipped off gifts and money to those in need. All in the name of
friendship.
Now I hope you have made it all the way to this part, because it is important. The expenses
over the past two years have been extreme for Gail's family. Life flights, hospital costs and
many other things having to do with Gail's health have brought about a need for us to help. If
you are able, anything would be very much appreciated. Change at the bottom of your pocket,
a dollar, or tuck anything you want into this effort to help. You can send donations to USM,
through the USM donation link on the home page, and we will forward the funds to the family.

A bouquet will be at the service from all of Unsolved Mysteries.
I don't have any idea how to say goodbye to this wonderful friend. She loved life so very
much, and I feel that she is still with us. Her smile just will live on in my mind forever. My
heart aches for her loving husband Art, her daughter Amanda and Gail's family and friends.
May God comfort you as you face the days ahead.
We will miss you dear Gail. Rest well my friend ...
Gail's viewing will be from 5 pm to 7 pm on Friday June 3rd followed by services at 7 pm at Colbert Memorial Chapel 700 highway 43 south , Tuscumbia Alabama 35674
