Hysterically funny with a contagious laugh, Gayle was full of life, amused and elegant, Gayle Cronin passed away on May 11th, 2010, remembered dearly by so many and in particular, our founder, Francesca Pappagallo. With first-hand experience of the ghastly expense and emotional isolation of cancer, Francesca knew she had to make a difference and created The Gayle Cronin Foundation, an independent 501(c)(3) Non-Profit organization.
