Gladys will truly be missed by all who knew her when she lived in the Chula area of Amelia. She was a beautiful person inside and out.
My mother (Florence Joyce) worked with her when Dicks Place was just getting started back in the 1950's and my husband and I visited with her after George passed away. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

My heart goes out to you at this time. I am truly sorry for your loss. As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life’s routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Reading Psalms 121 is a very comforting scriptural passage. There you will find assurance of God’s support as well. Please accept my deepest sympathies.
