Gillespie Family,
I would like to send my condolences to the Gillespie family in memory of Mr. Gillespie. I know he will be missed by a lot of people who loved him , who cared for him, and the lives that he had touched. whenever I did coffee at my Starbucks for his daughter Terry who passed away , Mr. and Mrs. Gillespie would come with some of the Reach Catechist from the Reach program. I had enjoyed being with him and talking to him. I know Mr. Gillespie will be very happy to be in in heaven with his loving daughter Terry. Our hearts are broken and saddened by your passing. You will always be remembered by your nature , treasured moments that will always be with us in our lives.
How you can show support
