Not sure what to say?

Gladys was a sweet sole and Sunday School friend of my mother (Pauline Kempski). When my mother passed away, I gave many of her jackets to Gladys. When Gladys was able to attend church, she'd have one of those jackets on and would have to model them for me. Precious memories seeing her so pretty and happy wearing them. Praying for all the family.

Maw filled so many empty places in lots of folks lives with love, compassion, sometimes a correction, and if you were lucky, a tasty home cooked meal with a slice of pie or cake. Her place in my heart is filled with such memories. I can see and hear her words of guidance and love just by closing my eyes and letting her spirit enter my soul. Go to the light maw. Go to the light. Much love,
