My father and I would like to express our condolences to you and your family. I remember going over to your house when I was a little girl with my mom to visit with Gladys in the summers. Our prayers are with you.

I'm going to miss her laughter, her smile, her excitement and our girls lunches. She always loved to point out how we were the youngest ones in the room. :)

I know all of her kitties came running when she arrived at Rainbow Bridge.
