Aunt Gladys - You were the very first person to hold our son, Jesse, right after he was born in the Hale Center Hospital. You just happened to be in the right place at the right time. You and Mom and Dad Masters (Everett and Florence) had this running argument as to which family Jesse belonged. He was yours too. We always enjoyed the family get-togethers with you and you always baked the best chocolate cakes, just ask Wesley. You are very near and dear to our hearts. You helped raise and guide our babies, who are now adults. Dearest Family, although we were unable to attend the services, please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Aunt Gladys will always be in our hearts. She will be missed greatly. She was a very dear lady and we loved her.

Aunt Gladys. Just saying the name brings back childhood memories on their farm. I would have to say that who I am today is because of my loving Aunt and Uncle who openly welcomed us kids to their farm. We played in the fields until we were completely exhausted and "dirty". Picked corn looking for the baby corns we made dolls with. The cool mornings with fresh hot homemade biscuits aunt Gladys' stove. The quick to whit she displayed when DJ was picking on us or even her brother Roy. Dearest Family, she deserves her trip to heaven where she will be welcomed by all the family who has gone before her. I know that DJ has been watching over her and is holding her now. Peace Deborah Masters Molina (Roy & Dona Masters)
