You were my "Mother" in this life on earth, with the Lord's good Blessing we will be together soon. I love you so much my dear "Lady", my heart is breaking. May God hold you forever close to his heart as I do you. I Love you. I love you my "LADY." God bless you. XOXOXO

Aunt Gladys, There are so many words that need to be said but not enough to describe how you will be missed. Your laughter, your sense of humor and the love you showed everyone. I will miss everything aout you but I know that you are one of God's angels now and all I have to do is look up into the sky and know you are still with us. I Love and Miss you so much. Love Always Lisa
