My greetings to you all, each and everyone, who as children, our lives were so intertwined together, as close as families could be. I feel now, that mere words do not serve me well in an attempt to express my feelings and sorrow of the passing of your Mother.
Although years of distance have separated us, nothing can break the bond of love and caring received as a child by both your mother, and of course your father as well, and all the moments we shared as children. I hope you find peace in the memory of Gladys, together with all your precious memories throughout the days of your lives with both of your parents.
Although that distance has come between us, I can only say that your Moms passing has a deep and profound effect on my life as well. I will always be grateful for the support and love from your family during the time of the loss of my father.
