I offer you my deepest sympathy, dear Roger, on the death of Gillian whom I know that you so loved and admired as a wife, friend, companion and colleague for so many years. She was indeed a marvellous person, whom the world of music in New Zealand will so greatly miss.

Roger, my thoughts are with you at this time. While I never actually met Gillian, I have known so many people whose lives she has enhanced through her musical activities. I´m sure you have an encyclopedia of wonderful memories of Gillian.
God bless.
