Funeral Expenses for Aidan David Gillespie

Final words from the family

“I’d like to take a moment to expressed our sincere gratitude. It’s been hard to find the right words to express our gratitude. While as a family we are still struggling with Aidan’s passing, grieving and at a lost most days. My heart is broken and will never be the same. Aidan was an amazing child, an old soul beyond his years. He taught me more than just how to be a mom. He touch so many life’s. A true blessing from the moment he was born. The most perfect child a parent could ask for. Taken far too soon. Those who knew Aidan were blessed and influenced by him. The stories that have been shared of him, we will carry with us forever. Thank you! There are not enough words to thank everyone for the outpouring of love, support and prayers our family has received. From the go fund me, meal train, donations, prayers, thoughts and supporting us in so many different ways. While we grieve and heal, we are lifted up by the support and love of our family, friends and community. Aidan will forever live on in our thoughts, actions, heart and soul. Going forward I ask for kindness. It was so important to him. To treat everyone as they deserve, with the respect and love they are entitled to. Life is to short and we are never guaranteed any amount of time here. We think we have time but time is fleeting. Live each day with love.”
