My deepest sympathies to the entire family. I admired her dignity, strength and love of family. She spoke so highly of each of you! May you have peace in knowing she is no longer in pain and in Gods’ hands.

Please accept my sincere sympathy. I met Clyde and Joan because they were very close friends of my late brother, Arden Gillespie. My husband and I visited them several times. We were happy to see the lovely frame Clyde had made for the oil painting my husband gave them. Joan wrote me several times offering me sympathy and comfort when my brother passed. Truly wonderful people. Love, Charlene Deutsch

I apologize. Joan’s husband’s name was Claude, not Clyde as I mistakenly wrote. Charlene Deutsch
