I worked for Gail in Omaha in the 1980's. We were both cat people and had lots of adventures with that. She stayed friends will me all these years which meant a lot to me. Our husbands died within 4 days of each other in 2013. Sorry to hear of her passing. God Bless this remarkable lady and person

We are truly saddened by the passing of Gail. Her husband, Kenny, was my first cousin. We held a Shorney Family reunion every two years in Nebraska and we were always so thrilled that they made the long trip to be there. She did so much for Jefferson County, never backing down from any obstacles in her way. Our deepest sympathies to her sons, John & Chris, her stepson, Kevin, and all those who are mourning her loss. We loved her. May she Rest In Peace.

So sorry to hear of Gail's passing. I really liked her, she was a classy lady. I was in awe of how she took care of Kenny during his illness. I always enjoyed her email newsletters even though I barely knew some of the people she wrote about. She will be missed. I extend my deepest condolences to Kevin and to the Lee family.

While l did not know Gail personally, l recall her kindness to my parents, Wilfred and Leola Kozisek, during their time at David Place nursing home. Her husband, Kenny, was my mom's nephew. She would send them the most beautiful hand-made greeting cards throughout the years. Such a lovely gesture. May she rest in peace.✝
