Fond memories of Gael in our Adult Tap class at Avondale College. Always smiling and a great contributor to our performances not only with Rhythm N Shoes but also with the choir and music groups.
Condolences to all the family from Heather and past and present Tappers.

Thoughts are with all of Gael's family. I remember some great times with Kim and family, and my own mother working at alongside Gael at Unitec for many years. A very patient lady, may she now rest in peace.
