Hello, my name is Samantha and I am devastated to announce the sudden passing of my precious, loved and adored cousin who was a sister to me.

Gillian was a devoted mother to her son’s Sterling and Roman, loving wife to her husband Brodie, beloved cousin of mine and Morgan and loved by so many friends and coworkers.

She brought a smile to every stranger, loved every critter and wouldn’t even harm a spider. She had the greenest thumb, the most amazing taste, the best sense of humour and more empathy than anyone I’ve ever known.

Her love, kindness, patience and the world’s best hugs brought so much joy to this world that it feels darker now that she isn’t here. Gillian will always be kept in our hearts and loved immeasurably.

For those of you that don’t know Gillian, her son Sterling has autism and families aren’t given nearly enough respite to help in situations like these. To help her husband Brodie and their two precious sons, I am raising money for respite, food and cleaning help for their family.

Anything and everything is greatly appreciated during this unthinkable tragedy ♥️

I will miss you every second of every day, my sweet Gilly. I hope your heart is at peace.
