Cathy & Gayle Memorial Fund

Since the fund's inception, CGMF strives to carry out the wishes of our friends Cathy and Gayle. In 2002, we donated a beach wheelchair to Wingaersheek Beach in Gloucester, MA. In 2004, we gave the Wellness Center in Newton a check for $1,000. In 2005 we started our first year of awarding Medway High School seniors a scholarship and have been doing so every year since (see recipients). In 2006 we donated a beach wheelchair to Sandy Neck Beach in Barnstable, MA.

Our latest gift to the Medway community can be found at the Choate Park. The inscription reads, "In loving memory of Gayle Lavin Nylander, 1970 – 2009. Like the ripples in a pond, the love of one can spread to many." Read more about Gayle who loved bringing her daughter Abigayle to Choate Park to play and walk around the park. 

In 2011 we donated Gray's Bench to the Oakland Street Park in Medway. The inscription reads, "In loving memory of Cathy, Cindy and Chris Gray". There's also a bench dedicated to Cathy in California overlooking the ocean. Read more about Cathy and how her friends remember her as a "California Girl".
