I was a good friend and team mate of Gaye's through Nelson Intermediate and NCG, now living in Airlie Beach, Whitsundays. Heard the absolutely tragic passing of Gaye and wish to pass on my sincere and heartfelt condolences to you and family and to Val, Leigh and Ann and families. Gaye was always such a vibrant and dynamic lady as we went through NCG together. She made contact with me only this year and I was truly hoping one day Gaye and family could have come and stayed with us here. My thoughts are with you all.

I feel so so sorry for you Malcolm but I guess having parred the last hole Gaye will be heading upstairs with a wry smile on her face - Sadly Gordon

We were absolutely devastated to learn of Gaye's passing. I feel so blessed to have met up with her again early this year, when we were randomly selected to play in the same golf tournament foursome - 46 years after we were at college together in ChCh, learning how to drill teeth!!! She hadn't changed at all, and she, and that gorgeous infectious laugh, will be missed more than words can say. With our very deepest sympathy to you Malcolm, to the children and to your entire extended family. Sue (née Edwards) and Wayne Greenstreet.

It's incredibly sad to hear of Gayes sudden passing. Gaye was such a vibrant fun loving person that lit up the room, loved her golf and especially her family with great passion, of whom she was, so so proud of. Gaye will leave a great void in Malcolm and her families life and will be missed immensely. Farewell Gaye. Love Karen and Ash Bradley xox

So incredibly sad to hear of Gaye's passing. Unbelievable. I am grateful to have known Gaye, even though for such a short time. There are very few words that can help ease the enormous grief of your sorrow. I am praying those wonderful memories will help you through. God Bless you with peace and tearful laughter.
