Gillian was twice my guide for eight day silent retreats at Saint Beuno's. She helped me so much both deepen my faith and, on the second retreat, face a traumatic relationship from my childhood. In the last year of her life she became my spiritual director. She always stressed God's kindness, mercy, understanding, patience, welcome and acceptance. Fortunately I wrote down her thoughts at the time, which I now treasure so much, and they remain for me her lasting inspiration. I miss her greatly; she gave me so much. Dominique Dubois
