Fr Gildea (Gilly) Wonderful priest, friend and spiritual guide. Especially in our youth. Fondd memories of our parish St. Matthews, Fr Griffin, the social club and football team. Being part of the Y.C.W (Young Christian Workers) brings back wonderful memories of your time with us. We kept in touch as a much as possible when you moved on to spread your knowledge and friendship in your next parishes. We were honoured to be part of your Golden Jubilee, where you provided a delicious spread in your beautiful garden, with your lovely smile and warmth.You made us feel so welcome, as always. Over the years we met up on a few occasions. More recently, even in your frailty, you concelebrated Frank's funeral mass with your friend Bishop Tom Williams, we are truly grateful. It was sad, but an honour to say goodbye to you, amid the many parishioners and clergy, who loved and respected you dearly. It is a privilege to have been part of your life. May you rest in peace with your loved ones in the garden of the Lord. God bless and keep you. The Vaudrey Family.
