In the last episode that Gail, Rita's Mom, appeared in ("That Night, a Forest Grew") is told, by Rita to pack and go home ("You'll come and visit for birthdays and holiday, but you are not going to live with us anymore") to which Gail replies, "Well if that's what I have to sacrifice to get you on your feet..."

Gail, realizing she no longer has control over Rita, simply disappears from the storyline, and Rita's life. She did not attend the wedding either (she sent a note say that she hopes the third time is the charm). She probably thought she would not be welcomed. When Rita gets killed she (Gail) probably surmised that she would not be welcomed at the funeral either. It would have been interesting to have a scene with Gail reacting to Rita's death.

I am just daydreaming!
