Dearest Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Mrs. Gladys was my neighbor for several years and on of the hardest things for me to do was move away from her. We would stand by the fence between our houses and talk about anything and everything. She was truly a great woman and will miss her very much. We would talk about flowers, gardens or how glad she was to have someone take care of our yards. I know you feel as if you've lost alot and you have, but just remember Heaven received a truly Lovable Angel that will watch over us until we see her again. May God bless each one of you.

Maxilea & Children,
I was out of town last week and found out about your Mom today. Gladys was always one of "my favorites" and I had a good visit with her not long ago. She made my wedding dress and I will always remember the time and detail that she always gave to "non-paying, just for her goodness" projects. Maxilea you and your Mom have helped more people than I will know in a lifetime. May God Bless you with Peace in the passing of your Dear Mother.

Aunt Gladys was a loving aunt who cared about every niece and nephew. Her dumplings were as good as any ever made, and her fried pies still make our mouths water! What a celebration is now occurring in heaven as she is reunited with her husband, parents, and siblings! What a blessing she was to those she encounterred.

Mrs. Gladys was a special lady. We were blessed to have been her pastor for a few years. She always wore a smile that came from a grateful heart. The world would be a better place if more people were like her. May the God of all grace bring comfort and peace to a wonderful family in the time of your loss.
