I am so sorry to learn of Gladys's passing. I wish I had known that Gladys was in Anita. I would have gone to see her as I live less than 50 miles from there in Waukee. I will always remember Gladys and the times I went to their place in Hill City with her brother Bob. My wife Rosi and I extend our sympathy, thoughts and prayers to all her the family.
