Not sure what to say?

I know it´s been 10 years since the passing of your dad, husband, but I just needed to say how much that kind loving man helped me and our family. When I got pregnant with our first baby, my husband said I had to go to Dr Gililland. I never regretted that. He was my husband´s Dr for wrestling at Westwood. He took care of me and Loran and our 6 babies for all those years. His generosity was unmatched. One time in 1982 we´d had our 6th. We struggled financially for a few months at that time....

Doc Gililand was a great family friend and a super guy to be around. He was always upbeat and joined us all for excitement and fun. He saved my life and for that I will be eternally grateful . ROP Doc!

I am so sorry to hear of his passing and to have missed the services. The Arrington family loved him very much! Besides our family doctor, he was a great friend. Hugs and prayers to your family. Wendy Arrington Nance

Dr. Gililland, the most influential person I had the opportunity to work for. He is the reason I became a nurse. One of the last of the greatest Physicians around. May his soul rest at peace and may he continue to serve others in heaven as he has done his whole life. Lynn, Robin and family, I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts.

I am so sorry at this late date to hear of Dr. G.'s. I had been his patient along with my family since 1960. I considered him a friend as he always treated me as such. I will never forget him.

He was the best. Not only our family Dr. , he also use to go camping with my husbands family. Good man!!

Oh my, Dr. Gililland has gone to his office in Heaven. Dr. Gililland, I want to thank you for all the care you gave to me and my family. My first born, whom you delivered, is 33 years old. I still remember that day like it was yesterday. Thank you for treating me like I was your only patient. I am privileged to have known you and I wish the best for your family. Thank you for serving our country and giving your all to your patients as well as your family and friends.

I am sorry to hear the news of Doc Johns passing. He took such good care of me for many years . in early 80's he removed a mole that looked odd.. needless to say it was a melanoma... Also he took care of my husband who had various medical problems. You were always there for me!
what a wonderful man ,

I am so saddened by this news. Dr. Gililland along side Dr. Smith delivered me into this world 41 years ago. He was always my favorite Dr. To see growing up. Although I wasn't fond of the waiting room and if I was sitting more than a few minutes, my 4 yr old self would jump up and yell "Hurry up Dr. Gilligan!!!" I couldn't say his name right at that age. He would still give me a safety pop and smile. He was such a great Dr. Rest well sweet man and thoughts and prayers to your family.
