He stated, “Gail was an intelligent, driven person with a sharp mind and wicked sense of humor.” To him she was the best life partner a person could ask for. Mrs. Cahn was a compassionate, firm and loving mother.
Mrs. Cahn cared about her students and wanted the best for them. A few words Mr. Cahn shared were, “Gail had a strong moral compass and truly felt all students deserve respect and access to the things necessary to help them be successful and better people.”
