Gary and Kathy,
I wish to extend my sympathy to you. I grew up in Lawrenceville and rememberwell your family. I'll never forget watching the house being put together so quickly after the flood. A first in the little town. Gladys was a sweet lady and a heart full of fond memories I wish for you now and for ever.

I am so sorry . Glady and our family had many special times together. Our kids always called her Aunt Glady. She was a special person to us, we loved her so much.But we know she is in Heaven with our precious heavenly Father, now and no more suffering. Praise the Lord.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. Every time I drive up Mitchell Creek I look up there and it brings back childhood memories. I loved going up to Gladys and Don's when I was younger. I could always cut up over the hill. Very sweet people.
