“The improvement in mum was as sudden as it was dramatic… this wasn’t simply a product of the support and professionalism that Gabrielle provided, it had much to do with her kindness and thoughtfulness.”
“My mother is a good judge, and picked up very quickly on Gabrielle’s sincerity, and it was lovely to witness a bond forged between the two of them.”
