I am so sorry about the passing of your mother. She was a a very warm-hearted woman. I was her massage therapist for many years, but hadn't seen her in a few years. Romany Kramoris informed me of her passing last night.

Deepest condolences, and Gail was absolutely the nicest person I've ever known. She helped me as a child and played a great role in my life. I will never forget her. Rest In Peace.

Gail Furman was a great humanitarian. With a combination of expertise and compassion, she was instrumental in the Women's Refugee Commission's early work on refugee children and adolescents. We will miss her greatly.

Rarely do such deep generosity, kindness, idealism, brilliance, openness, thoughtfulness, sagacity, and warmth coalesce in a single, beautiful individual.

Dr. Furman helped me tremendously in reuniting with my daughter. I had served a 15tolife sentence for a non violent drug offense. She provided the path to healing and much more. She will surely be missed by many. May she rest in peace.

My family has been greatly indebted to Dr. Furman for her loving support and help in the years we have known her. I personally would not have been able to finish college if it wasn't for her timely involvement and generosity. It is with deep sadness that we say goodbye and pray for comfort for her wonderful family.
