Memories and Condolences
for Mary Gillies

Well, I'm pretty late to adding to this page but to the entire Gillies family, my condolences. My buddy Tom's Mom was one of the "coolest" Mom's of all my friends. Kind, caring, understanding, and really very funny! The kind of funny that could only come from the wisdom and experience of being the matriarch to such a large family. I was thinking of Tom tonight (which happens often), and then I thought of Mrs. Gillies ( I only met Mr. Gillies a couple of times because his work schedule almost always conflicted with the time I'd visit). I was sorry to read she had passed but I'm glad she had such a full life. I hope the family is well. I'll never forget your brother Tom.
