I have known you for many years. You always had a smile on your face, especially when you were teasing Michelle😁 I will always remember you and may you rest in peace with your heavenly father.

Gillie, you never forgot me, you always remembered my name! I miss your smile. I miss Michelle and I bringing your favorite food to you. And the enjoyment it gave you. It touched my heart. Go rest high on that mountain Gillie! We are ok. Your time here is done. For Michelle and Bessie, my heart goes out to both of you. Praying for you both to have massive peace knowing he is with our Lord and Savior!! One day very soon we will see him again. Love y'all always, sister and mom!!
