Kia ora katoa
It is with great sadness and shock that I read of Gay's Death. So young and so commited to the causes of many low income people from all around the globe.
I was involved with Gay in Otautahi at Corso where the groups I was involved were allowed to work from . The beneficary action collective and the smog newspaper ran for about 3 years and diring that time Gay was always in the background with advice, support and an understanding ear.I think she always wished she could do more but time was her enemy. There were times when we clashed about how things should happen but it was ok because we always knew we were on the same side of the fence.
I think her shadow will linger for a long time over left politics in Otautahi.
Ngaa mihi mahana ki te whanau A Gay. She was known by us, she worked with us, she shared with us but in the end you knew her like we did not. Your hurt and suffering is felt and shared by many more than could attend her funeral. Long may her work continue trough her many supporter and friends.Aroha ki a taatou katoa. Love is something that keeps us warm so live in the love of all.
