George and family -

So sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. She was a dear friend of my Mom and I remember how she would make my mother laugh with her quick wit.
She will be missed. Thoughts and prayers to you all in this time of sorrow.

My deepest sympathy to your family. I worked with Gladys at Kemper in 1974 and 1975 when I was just out of college. She was the veteran and I was the new kid on the block. I remember her fondly.

Warm Regards,
