Not sure what to say?

Just discovered Ms Gail Lumet Buckeky´s passing as I did a Google after watching a documentary she was featured. I was watching a PBS documentary Women of World War II: The Untold Stories, which featured Ms Buckley and her stories of her remembrance of the war effort back in the states and her mother LENA HORNE´s contribution to entertaining our US soldiers during wartime. Ms Buckley was a very good writer. I read her first book on her family THE HORNES many years ago when she wrote it....

Gail was my roommate at a Quaker boarding school in the Hudson Valley. We shared many memories then and later in life, too. My condolences to her family and May she rest in peace.

Gail and I went to boarding school together at a wonderful Quaker School in the Hudson Valley, two of the few students of color. We were both on the cheerleading team, such as it was. May she rest in peace.

A brilliant journalist that was so dedicated to documenting her family´s journey and share it with so many. Sincere condolences to the Lumet and Buckley families, so very sorry for your loss, May God be with you all to help you through this very difficult time of your loss.

Condolences to her family

To the family, my deepest condolences in your loss of Gail. May your fond memories of her warm your heart, and may the God of tender mercy and ALL comfort, comfort you during this time.

RIP Gail
