From being a young child in the Buckley rd 'clan', to being a teenager staying with Donna in Tauranga, to meeting again with my daughter, Maia, in Donna and Vince's mansion on the hill, all of my memories of you, Gaye are of your phenomenal strength of spirit, kindness, joyfulness and glow. I have admired you greatly and it is with sadness in my heart I know I will not see you again. If there is a 'next world', I truly hope you will be in mine. I send my love to all of your kids, grandkids and friends who will be feeling your passing. You are a queen amongst women, and probably the first Amazonian feminist I met before I even knew what that was. With mh deepest love, I fare thee well. Karen.
