Not sure what to say?

I knew Gail in Tucson and she was such a wonderful person. So kind and always caring. Loved spending time with her. RIP

Remembering Gail from USAF days in DC to renewed friendship in Tucson, Washington State and many phone calls Miss You Gail ! Mark Banfield, Chester Springs, PA

Gail, dearest Gail...We laughed, we cried, we travelled to her beloved summer home, we talked, we listened as her brother played beautiful music ...the list is endless ...each adventure marked by a sisterhood we cherished...Thank you for beautiful memories...I will always remember you ....Rest in eternal peace dear heart ~ Ann

A Heavenly host of friends awaited Gail in Heaven. Well done dear lady.

Our sincere sympathies to you and your family.

My deepest sympathies to Gail's family. She and I go back over 50 years. The obit tells it all. Gail's Star is shining bright. Dr Smith

Gail truly embodied the Fraternity's principles: intellectually, the highest scholarship, socially, the widest influence for good, and the moral code - love. I was privileged to meet her when I first landed in Tucson, and proud to call her a Kappa Alpha Theta sister. Her influence will live on through the many lives she touched.

Condolences to the Kershner family and especially Coach Kershner on the loss of such fine lady!

Gail you and your stories will be missed. Thank you for being a part of our big, blended family.
