I will always remember Gladys Hicks. She was a beautiful person both on the inside as well as the outside. She gave me inspiration and encouragement through some very difficult times. She taught me what I know about the computer, trained me well in my job and improved my outlook on life in general. I am so grateful to her in so many ways including “keeping the light on for me at Seniortowne”. I am positive the Good Lord has “Completed the circle” ,as she used to say
,and she is back with Him. God Bless her and her Family.

I met Gladys through MEAAA. I only worked with her for a short while but Gladys changed me. There is no higher compliment than to say knowing someone changed me. I will miss her. It won't be the same without her.
