Gale participated in the Geriatric Sit Down Rounds at EVMS for a number of years. I always valued her support of the program and her willingness to share information.

Our deepest sympathy to her family.

Gale saw my mother in 2001 as a client when my mother was a resident of Beth Sholom nursing home.I will never forget how kind and compassionate and helpful Gale was in assisting both my mother and me adjusting to my mother moving into the nursing home.My condolences to your family, and may her memory be a blessing.
