"If I have seen a little furher it is by standing on the shouders of giants" Newton
Of the many great people I have met in my life, Gill was perhaps the greatest. I am honoured to have stood on her shoulders during a time when I needed the extra view. So humbled and grateful just to have had her loving attention.
I love her, she will remain forever my GEM.
Condolences to Sean, Brendan, Tui and Daniel <3
