I am so very saddened to learn of Gertrude’s passing. I had the honour and privilege of working with Gertrude at the Miller Center. She was such a beautiful human being in every way and a true role model as a physiotherapist. She was so wonderful to everyone she worked with, her patients and her colleagues, and was always such a joy to be around. She was caring and thoughtful, on many occasions sharing her wonderful cooking with me as she knew how much I loved her food! My sincerest thoughts are with you all.
She was such a lovely person! A true professional!She will be greatly missed!

It’s not easy to accept that Molly aunty is gone, but they will continue living in our hearts forever.
I was fortunate to work with Molly in the 1980’s. She was a kind and compassionate person with a passion for helping others. Loved her sense of humor and laughter. Recently I enjoyed spending one day with Molly and her family. She was well cared for at her home, we had good food and laughter together. I’ll cherish those memories for a very long time. Until we meet again Molly. God bless the lovely family and students from university that took excellent care.
I had the good fortune to work with Gertrude at the HSc. She loved her work and cared deeply for her patients.. She wore her smile like it was part of her physiotherapy uniform. Her dedication to her profession and her family was unwavering. She never seemed to age and I believe her positive attitude kept her young. She made me a better physiotherapist and I will be forever grateful for our time together. Thanks for all the great memories Gertrude.
Sincere condolences to your family
