We were next door neighbors to Gladys and Ted for 15 years. She always had some little quip for us. Gladys was one little tenacious lady. She pushed forward when others would have just sat down and given up.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Grandma, you who made Easter baskets every year for us, who listened to our stories, you are already missed greatly. I'm so very glad I got to see you those last few times earlier this year.

I wish I could be there with you . I have so many happy (and sometimes unusual !) memories of growing up with all of you. I hope someday we all get to meet again. Until then my thoughts and prayers (via Linda) are with you each and every day. I love you all.
