Gaye passed away peacefully on Monday night before her her funeral at the Arohanui Hospice in Palmerston North

At the end she was in the Hopice in Palmerston North and visiting was restricted to family only, She was there for just under 2 weeks and most of that time on morphine - so she was pretty sick and ready to go in the last few days.

The last time I saw her was the day before she went to hospice at Waiterere Beach and she was looking pretty sick- short of breath and weary and tired.

I will miss her heaps and feel really upset that she died with some much work finished but never really got the chance just to sit back and rest for herself-- Its been a real wake up call for me- a reminder to look after oneself as in the harsh world of activism the 'world' always needs to be saved and there's always one more 'campaign' but its never gonna be sustainable if we succeed in killing ourselves!!!

Her funeral was really lovely- her father gave a very nice ulogy and it was a nice time to remember he by- I hope to organise a memorial dinner for her in a month or twos time here in Wellington- a chance for mainly anarchafem women friends to meet up and go out for a cheap eat- the struggle continues and we will fight on:

On the night of her funeral some of us got together in Wellington and wrote up an incomplete list of the 'causes' and 'projects' she worked on
