Gaile, continued my Grandmother's teachings of how to be a true Lady. Gaile taught me how to dress, stand, speak and treat others as respectful and with kindness. She has always been in my heart and mind, but unfortunately I was not able to see her as much as I would have liked. My thoughts and prayers go to you Robin, and your family. Dance with the Angels Gaile, you will be missed.

Dear Robin & family, it saddened me to hear of Gaile’s passing. I remember when I met her for the first time & I was marvelled at her poise & thought what a beautiful lady she was. You did very well in asking her to share your life. May you keep those wonderful memories alive in your heart forever. Stay strong brother in law. Love Dinora French

Hi Robin I’m very sorry to hear of Gaile’s passing - I have many memories of her vibrancy and smile and as you both as ballroom dancers at various balls we all seemed to frequent in those days - thoughts are with you and I hope you are well - cheers Mike

That was such a beautiful tribute to your mum Derryn, she was such a fun person to go away with on softball trips, as Isable Jones of, such wonderful works where spoken about here. Remember she is out of pain now, but she will always be looking over you. ❤️❤️

Dearest Gaile In the dance of life, you led with grace, A guiding light, a warm embrace. Gaile, your spirit moved us all, With every step, we'd rise, not fall. Survived by Robin, steadfast and true, A love that time could not subdue. Derryn, Emma, and grandsons dear, Carry your legacy, ever near. Your passion lives in those you taught, In every lesson, joy you brought. The echoes of your laughter stay, In hearts and minds, they’ll never sway. Though the music now may cease, Your spirit dances on in peace. In every twirl and gentle sway, Dear Gaile, you're with us every day.

So very sorry to hear of Gailes passing . She fought a good battle l she always did . My first memories of Gaile are a 5 year old me being fascinated by this strong presence of a woman. I think I was a bit scared of her when I was little but as the years went on, she became a woman to admire for her strength. No mucking about with Gaile . She called a spade a spade 👍🏼🥰 so many fun memories involving her calling the radio station thinking I would recognise her voice 🤣 very distinctive! Gee she made me laugh. Thanks for the memories Gaile . Much love to all xxx

Robin, Derryn and Emma, so sorry to hear of Gailes passing. A strong woman, definitely when I knew her, all those years ago. A strong influence in my life and many memories. Love to you all Felecia

Robin, sorry to read of Gaile’s passing. Our thoughts are with you. Lots of good early dancing memories of you both. Bill and Sue Day (Wellington)
