Finding Peace through Accepting Grief Gary Gillespie

On May 23, 2014, William Riley Gillespie was struck on his motorcycle leaving the high school where he taught. His death devastated a community where 1700 filed through the funeral home to show their respects for a coach, teacher, Marine, husband, son, brother, uncle, and friend. Gary Gillespie, William's proud father, reveals his journey from crippling grief over the loss of his youngest son to empowered self realization through his journaling and poetry. Along the way it seems his lost son teaches him how to live and face life again. #ChereishYesterday #LiveToday #DreamLikeWill
