"We spent so much time worrying about her flying here and there, and to have her go like this: killed by a plane as she sat in an office building. All she wanted was a real job at a desk in a building." Phyllis Gilly (Gilly's mother).
"She had such a positive outlook. If you were worried about something stupid, she'd say, 'Just get over it. I have a choice to be happy or not, and I am going to choose to be happy.'" Danielle Hoffman (Gilly's friend).
