Dear Gladys & Family,
I couldn't let this opportunity go by without extending my most sincere condolence at this time.
I am very sorry for your loss Gladys and I'm sure that you and your family will find comfort in each other.
Ann and I left Farmingdale for Aiken SC about 6 years ago to get closer to one of the kids since they are living all over the place. We're well and do love it here.
Stay strong girl and I hope that you find strength and comfort in The Lord, your family, and friends.
Sincerely --- Dick & Reichel
