Dear Elaine....We, just found out in the last few days of the passing of Aunt Gladys....We are so very SAD for your loss and all of us who thought highly of her! Was there any other way?

So sad to learn recently of the passing of Gladys Stumpf. I very fondly remember Gladys Stumpf (Mrs. Gladys Rice at the time that I knew her).

We are saddened by the loss of the light that Gladys was. The world is now poorer for the loss of Gladys, but surely heaven has been enriched by her presence.

Our thought's and prayer's to the family, especially Elaine, and Anthony Corrao. She will be dearly missed. Heartfelt sorrow,
Love, Jim and Marlene Corrao

Gladys and I were members of All Saints Episcopal Church in Orange. She was a faithful member and a strong supporter of my ordination to the priesthood. Well done, good and faithful servant. May you now rest in peace and rise in glory.
