GLADYS WAS SUCH A WONDERFUL PERSON. SHE WAS A STRONG WOMAN WHO COULD YELL AT YOU & LAUGH WITH YOU ALL IN THE SAME CONVERSATION. SHE WAS AN INSPIRATION IN HOW SHE DEALT WITH THE STRUGGLES THAT SHE HAD ENDURED. SHE WAS A COMPASSIONATE FRIEND WHO WOULD TAKE THE TIME TO LEND AN EAR, AND SHARE THE KNOWLEDGE AND INSIGHT THAT LIFE'S EXPERIENCE HAD ALREADY TAUGHT HER. MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS FOR THE LOSS OF SUCH WONDERFUL PERSON AND FRIEND. SHE WILL BE MISSED BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN.
