Gladys was my mother Helen's best friend in Town & Country Park for many years: they walked together, traveled together, laughed together. I enjoyed visiting Gladys when I visited my mom, and I'm happy that we were able to stay in touch all these years.
As you say, Gladys is deeply loved, and she will be greatly missed. I am richer for having known her.
Peace to all who knew and loved her.

Gladys was a very sweet lady that my family enjoyed seeing at the pancake breakfasts that we would work at in the clubhouse of the mobile home park that she lived in, we will miss her smile. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
