The NGF is profoundly saddened by the recent passing of Rosina Papantonio. Rosina was the Marketing Director at the NGF from 1999 – 2015. Her heartfelt dedication to the Gaucher community was steadfast. She had many strong connections to those within the community and strove to ensure her efforts benefitted as many as possible. The entire NGF extends its deepest condolences to Rosina’s family during this difficult time. May her memory be a blessing and may those who knew and loved her be comforted at this time.

As a tribute to Rosina, please share the special recollections you may have of her by emailing Amy Blum at amy@gaucherdisease.org as the NGF will be compiling these memories from the community and sharing them with Rosina’s family.
