The word I think of most when I think of Gail is "courageous." Gail consistently, relentlessly showed courage in the midst of life challenges.. Gail was an inspiration to me in how she faced life's challenges with confidence and faith in God's protection and guidance. We miss you dearly, Gail. May blessings of peace be with all of Gail's family and those who loved her.

I remember the old days when Gail would put rollers in her hair on Satuday for Saturday night parting at the bar that her husband Bill's band would be playing at.
Then I remember the Youth Hostal that Gail and Bill ran. There were 20 bunk beds for men and 20 bunk beds for women.
Then in the basement was the kitchen that grandma Busch , Gail, and I would feed the people who were at the Youth Hostel.
Gail was a great sister-in-law. God bless her above.
