We're sorry to hear about the death of Gladys. She challenged me to scrabble when I lived a few blocks away from her and taught school at Hiawatha School. That was in 1962. We kept in contact via Christmas cards and etc. for many years after that. I am May Lee's niece. May Jesus comfort you during this time. Murial& George Davis Prescott, AZ.

Our love and prayers go out to the family of Gladys Christensen. We have known her for over 40 years, as "mom" to Joanne (Christensen) Olson. We trust many happy memories and God's provision will be with Gladys' entire family as they celebrate her homecoming.

Our deepest sympathy in the passing of your Mom...I will always remember her coming into the office at RE/MAX for lunch; she was a true "lady".

May God comfort your hearts with sweet memories and bring you peace...Cheryl & Lee Stangler

Our prayers are with all the family on the passing of Gladys. She was my "Minnesota Mom" and I will miss her so much. We had many nice talks and visits over the years when I would stop by to help her with her book work etc. She has been a part of my family for 21 years and watched my kids grow like the rest of the Christensen family.

We love all of you and you will always have a special place in our hearts.
