Angel, My Little         
My Little Angel
The news of your coming arrival
Brought tears of such joy.
I sat and I pondered
would you be a girl, or a boy?
What color would your hair be?
and your eyes, would they be blue?
I sat and looked forward
to the dayI would meet you.
With great anticipation
I would think both night and day.
Of all the things that you would do,
and the things that you would say.
Your three sisters were so excited
that they could hardly wait.
Little did we know that you were
at Heaven's Gate.
When problems started to arise
and we thought we might lose you,
we went to see the doctor and
found out it was true.
For your spirit had departed,
back with Father is where you are.
Even though I know that you are close,
it seems so very far.
So, here my soul sits aching for
the child I never knew.
It's a pain that will never go away,
Until that day thatI meet you.

Loader, Gail        
Gail Loader, 58 of San Francisco, CA was released September 12, 2005 from the
confines of a mortal body ravaged by the effects of a 25 year battle with
Multiple Sclerosis.
Gail was born in American Fork, UT, May 3, 1947 to Dale and Sadie Barratt
Loader. She received her education in American Fork, graduating in 1965. While
in high school she was a member of the American Fork High School Band and the
BYU Youth Symphony. Gail was a gifted musician and excelled in music during
high school. She played every string instrument she could get her hands on as
well as the French horn. She also possessed a beautiful singing voice and an
appreciation for music of any kind. Gail continued her education on a music
scholarship at Weber State College.
In 1967 she relocated to San Francisco, CA to pursue her musical interests
there. She was employed by the U.S. Postal Service for 10 years and was forced
to retire at age 30 due to complications of her progressing MS. At age 37
after a serious fall she was hospitalized for over three months, at which time
she was encouraged by her physicians to move into a nursing facility. Gail
never considered that an option. She was strong willed and determined to keep
her independence despite her disabilities and was able with the help of many
devoted caretakers to remain living in her apartment for the rest of her life,
with the exception of the numerous times she was hospitalized. Gail loved the
Bay area and made San Francisco her home for 38 years, despite the pleadings
of her family for her to return to Utah where they could help care for her
after her diagnosis with MS.
Gail possessed a childlike innocence and an uncanny sense of humor throughout
her illness. It allowed her to joke about what ever was going on in her life
whether it be good or bad. She never ceased to amaze us with her positive
attitude under the worst of conditions. It is still hard to imagine how she
stayed so upbeat under circumstances that would have left most bitter and
angry at the world and asking "why me." She was an example of unwavering
courage and determination to everyone who knew her. It was a very rare moment
if you called and asked how she was doing that you ever got any other response
than her regular "Oh, I'm doing just fine." We hope that Gail is now doing
more than just fine. We hope she is up dancing, singing and playing her guitar
surrounded by her loving Mom and Dad who have patiently waited for her to be
released from her pain and suffering in this life.
Gail is survived by her brother Thomas (Connie) Loader of American Fork, UT,
and sister Lynda (Vernon) Jenkins of Federal Way, WA, seven nieces and
nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, Dale and Sadie Loader and a
brother, Clinton Loader.
Our family would like to thank Gail's wonderful angels who were her devoted
caregivers and who throughout the years became Gail's family. Teodora Medel,
who was like a mother to Gail and cared for her lovingly for twenty years.
Merlin Willis whose sense of humor made her laugh, Edi Plotinsky who continued
to visit and encourage her long after she retired. Jay Whitaker her long time
friend who was there for her to the end. Mary Liz Harris would read to Gail
when she could no longer hold a book. To the many other friends and caretakers
(too numerous to name) who helped Gail throughout her illness, we are
eternally grateful. With the loving care of these amazing individuals Gail got
her wish to be able to live out her life in her little apartment with her
birds.
A memorial service for Gail will be held for family and friends in San
Francisco, CA on October 15, 2005.
