I am so sad to hear of Gladys death. She and my sister-in-law, Artice Babka, have been friends from the time of their high school years. What swell lady she was. She was a true friend to Artice and our entire family enjoyed their conservations. May our Lord be with you during this difficult time. My deepest sympathy to a!l of Gladys' family.

Gladys will be greatly missed. Her and my mother, Ruth Schulze, shared many years of great memories from the times they were in high school until the end. Many prayers for the family during their difficult times.
