I'm heartbroken to find this...prayers to Katherine and the girls

I first met Gaye when I was a pre-Freshman at Allegheny College - she was wonderful. She was a role model for me and I valued her friendship. I last saw her several years ago at a college reunion - she was the same wonderful person - I will always value that last chat. I'm sure she touched many lives in the most meaningful way. Love, Annette Gilliland Chapin

I am sorry to learn of Gaye's death. She was one of my favorite people from our Penn Hills High School class of 1959. A gal of talent, enthusiasm, and warm personality. Our lives separated 66 years ago, but my wife and I have been in touch with Gaye periodically over the years, just not frequently enough. Her care for her son was a labor of love and devotion. Her passing is a lose to all of us.

What a lovely person Gaye was. I´m so sad over her passing. I´ll always remember her warmth and kindness.
