Thank you for calling. My mother, Dolores Geddis was saddened to hear of Gladys' passing. My goodness, they were such good friends for so many years. I think my mother saved every card and letter Gladys sent her. Great memories they shared. I'm glad they were able to stay in touch. Gladys will be in our prayers.
