Seeing others who have not been given this gift, it has become clear to me that the importance of family in our lives molds us in incredible ways. I will cherish forever the role you had as the matriarch of the family. You have always shown love and acceptance and I thank you. I will miss you, but will remember with joy the time we had.
Give your brother a hug for me.

Your niece,

Mike Gilfillan
