What a Lady
Yesterday, my Grandma Gillespie passed away with loved ones around her at my Aunt Nylene's home in Gilbert. What a bitter sweet experience this was to say my final goodbye to her. I got a call on Tuesday that she wasn't doing good and only had a day or so left. Brooklee and I jumped in the car and headed out that afternoon. Nic was able to join us on Thursday. (Boy was i glad to see him) For those of you who know my Grandma can attest to the fistyness and spunk she had. There are so many memories we all have of her and we will have our time to share them in the coming weeks ahead. I know she is having the time of her life with my Grandpa Gillespie, Uncle Mike and Braiden. Guess who the boss is now boys!!! I love you Grandma. Thanks for giving me the mother I have. And for raising nine of the wildest kids ever. What a crazy Gillespie family we have. BUT I wouldn't trade them for the world. For those of you interested in attending, her funeral services will be held on Saturday, December 13 at noon Downtown Lakeside Chapel with the viewing starting at 10:30 a.m. There will also be a viewing held at Owens Livingston Mortuary in Show Low from 6:00-8:00 on Friday, December 12th.
