My sincerest condolences to Claire and the rest of the family. Although I never had the privilege of meeting Gem in person, her contributions to the DS newsgroup on the internet were invaluable and invariably radiated great humanity. She was undoubtedly highly regarded by many on the list and will be greatly missed.

To the family of Gem. I am sorry for your loss. I have read Gem's posts for at least the last 20+ years. My son, Timothy, now 25 also has Down's. I read her posts with great need of her knowledge. We were blessed by her on the Down's support list. Be assured that as a Christian she will spend eternity in heaven with our Lord. Blessings

Dearest Granny,
Always the most intelligent voice of reason in the room, we are better because we were blessed with your friendship. I was so lucky that you were one of my very first online friends. Claire, we will so miss your mom!
Signed, Sandy, that woman from Seattle (that would have made her laugh)

Our condolences to Gem's family. She was part of our writers' group, Rabble. Loved her caring nature and her great sense of humor. We are happy to have known her as she enriched our lives.

Miss Gem reached out to me in 2008 when I found out my son was diagnosed with Trisomy 21 via a post in an online group. I thank God for allowing me those emails when I felt alone and depressed. God Bless her family and friends.

Granny I have no words

I am lost - you were such a crusader and a shit stirer and so damned honest and down to earth

You will be missed

We love you for your tenacity and advocacy and honesty
