Aunt Gladys was very special to Joe and me. She was kind, loving and thoughtful. I became a niece to her after Joe and I married. I was blessed she loved us so much. Gladys always made us laugh and enjoy every moment we were with her. When we had children they loved her and delighted being around. Some of my grandchildren lives in Conway and she taught them many things. We will miss her.

Gladys was such a sweet Southern lady. I have missed the fun times at cemetery work days when Harlan, JW, Gladys and Tommy were all there. Lots of jobs accomplished with so much laughter. Prayers for Tommy and family.
