Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
I’m so sad that she’s gone. One of my earliest memories is going to meet Shannon and Jeff right after they were born. I also remember all of the family picnics of the “Gill girls”! We would almost always sit and eat in the garage and take group photos. There isn’t a time in my life that she wasn’t there. I struggle to grasp the thought that most of the Gill girls are gone… that only two are still with us. If possible, as cousins, let’s try to stay connected. I honestly think it would have been important to Grandma and Grandpa as well as Aunt Dorothy. One thing you may not know is that Aunt Dorothy spoke unconditional love into the life of my daughter for years….it meant so much.
Our thoughts and condolences are with your family.
