My aunt Gail was the most amazing person to me, and just seeing the picture here on the site evokes so many wonderul childhood memories, because it was with Aunt Gail and my cousins that I shared so many of them. My mom (Gail's sister Marina) would always have the three of us hang out or do sleepovers or trips together, and to me they were the best of times. I remember how much Aunt Gail laughed when we went to a Chinese food place after I got Poison Ivy on my face and how the people at the restaurant thought I was Corey Feldman or how miffed she was when we saw REVENGE OF THE NERDS 2 and saw how raunchy it was, only to be swept up in the movie and enjoy it with us by the end. Gail was so wonderful and supportive to us while being wickedly funny, and even when she became ill, there was still that flicker of humor and warmth inside, to which it was a highlight every time we would see each other at a family function or Xmas party. Making Gail smile then was such a great experience, and I hope she's smiling now as well.
I miss you Aunt Gail and love you dearly.
Love,
Joe Lynch
