Sheila, I am so very sorry to learn of the passing of your beautiful daughter. Reading about her, it is evident how truly special she was, not just as a daughter but to so many other people whose lives she touched as well. May you find some comfort through your deep grief, in the knowledge of this.
You and I worked together at Middletown Hospital for many years...I remember how family was so important to you... my deep sympathy is with you and yours.

I feel so fortunate that I got to know Adrienne. We were fellow social workers and met through a mutual friend. We met for coffee once in Clintonville to discuss our different paths in the social work field, and I loved talking to her when I saw her at parties. She was always kind and helpful and had a great sense of humor. When I think of all she has done to advocate for all people, it makes me so proud to be a social worker. She was out in our world fighting the fight to make the world a better place. My heart goes out to her family and friends. Please know that there are many people who are thinking of you during this difficult time.

Sending my deepest condolences to a fellow member of the NASW. May peace be with the family of Adrienne Gavula.
