Daddy

Almon Dean Gillespie
May 12, 1928 - November 7, 2008

We love you.
We know you love us.
Oh! How lovely was the reunion with your sons.
Lots of hugs, kisses, and laughter.
Don't worry about Mom, we will take good care of her.
We will miss you.

I didn't even know your dad was sick D'nell- for some reason I thought it was your mom with the health problems. No matter how ready he might have been- it will be hard as the days go on- you know that because of your brothers- death is so weird isn't it?

D'Nell,
I am thinking about you today. You are one of the strongest people I know. The wonderful comfort of the gospel is knowing how happy your Dad is right now! Love you.

Hi D'Nell..
We heard of your father's death from Kristen after she read your blog. Stuart and I were both at work. It's a bitter/sweet thing for your family -- difficult at best. Cherish your memories and remember the good times. What a reunion he must be having!! Love to you always.

D'Nell,
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Even though I didn't know your dad personally, I feel like I got to know a little bit of him through your stories. They always made me laugh. Stay strong, but know it's ok to cry! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

D'Nell,

What a difficult time this is for you and your loved ones. I will keep you all in my prayers. I know the power of the Comforter is real and hope you receive that comfort in great measure. Grieving is hard work - going through it myself I know that it comes in waves. Be gentle with yourself through the months ahead. Amen to the joys of the gospel's good news!
