Mrs. Gillespie was my 5th grade teacher! She was a favorite teacher in the school easily!! she spent a lot of time with her students and she really cared! I have remembered her all these years later. I will never forget the encouragement and positive impression she left with me, it helped me to navigate many of my school years even to graduate school remembering the lessons of courage to try and reach for the stars! The Lord, allowed me to meet up with her again a few years ago as my mom and her enjoyed times at the community center, I got a chance as an adult to tell her thank you! My condolences and prayers to the family! Thank you for sharing your earthly Angel with me!
