Gillian was a tremendous help during a crisis time in my family. Her intelligence and compassion was extraordinary. She was a lovely woman and I am so saddened to hear of her passing. Will miss you Gillian.

I just learned about the death of Gillian Walker. I have many lovely memories of Gillian during the time I worked at the Ackerman Institute. She was the kindest person with the most genuine smile. She was fun and giving. I shared conversations with her about our children who went to the same school at the time (Friends). She was an excellent therapist; the best. A creative spirit all the way. My condolences to her family.

Gillian was an incredible light , and had an enormous heart. Her compassion was unworldly and everyone she touches and every room she entered was made lighter , brighter and more positive. She made me a more loving soul by the mirror she offered !

Thank you for sharing this sad news with me! I will never forget Gillian, especially her generosity, her love for Haiti and our beloved Harlem. She was an extraordinary woman. On behalf of my family, our deepest sympathies to Rebekah, Philip, Sara, Auralice and the rest of the family. P.S: I will not be able to attend the scheduled mass this coming month. However, I look forward to celebrating her life at a later date when it is announced.

Sending love and condolences to Rebekah, Sara and Philip. I have such fond memories of being part of the early stages of the development of The Maysles Institute with Gillian and Albert. I remember the warmth and love shared by all around the dinner table enjoying a delicious meal prepared by Gillian. Gillian was compassionately brilliant, kind, fun, and genuinely curious and interested in each person fortunate enough to have shared time with her. Rest in peace Gillian. Fondly, Deborah...
