I remember Gillian as she was my classmate at Norfolk Catholic Middle School. We were in Mrs. Pascua's class together. Gillian, you were always so pleasant and kind. I remember your warm and friendly demeanor. You were always concerned about others and wanted everyone to be happy and well. I even remember your cool Oakland accent. One of my fond memories of you is hearing you asking Mrs. Pascua about the homework we had. Such a calm and spirited personality one may never ever forget. I hope you know we from Norfolk Catholic will remember your kindness and warm smile. My condolences to your family. Peace be with you all.

I have not seen Gillian in many years, but I will always remember the young girl with a wonderful smile and the giggles. Gillian and my daughter, Rachael, were good friends when they were in Montessori. I am very sad to hear of your loss and send you my deepest sympathy. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Gillian is a friend of mine and Kia is a friend of my daughters. I will never forget the times we laughed together, especially the time when we couldn't stop laughing in the movie theater and people were getting mad at us. Although we weren't close, she was still a friend whom I will never forget. I am deeply saddened by her loss and God knows we are praying for her entire family during this time.

Trey and Kia,
May God be with you to give you strength and guide you through this hard time.

With love and God Bless,
April and Hayley

On behalf of myself and the entire Neptunes organization, I can not express how saddened we are that Gillian is no longer with us. She was always quick with a smile and a pleasure to speak with on the softball field....we will truly miss her. Trey and Kia, may God hold you and give the strength and courage to deal with your loss.

God Bless you!

I met Gillian while a student at Norfolk Catholic Middle School. We lost touch during high school. I still remember the day she came up to me in the library at TCC and gave me a huge hug and a smile. I will never forget her large heart and big smile. God Bless.

Our family can not express in words how saddened we are that Gillian is gone. We know she was a loving mother and wife and we know she was loved by all on the softball field.

Trey and Kia, Stay strong to find the courage to make it through each day.
May God Bless you.
