Not sure what to say?

Grandma I love and miss you very much. Things are not the same without you and I can't wait to see you again.

Gladys, my mother-in-law, I called her Ma. Mother-in-laws can be a thorn in your side at times but Gladys was more of a rose. I will miss her for sure. She lived next door for almost 25 years until she passed away. Her and I usually shared a bit of conversation in the evening along with a cocktail. That was the routine for years. Ma always was good to us, she loved us and we loved her. I will always remember that when I had to barbeque Ma would walk down and sneak me a drink and...

There isn't a significant moment in my life that I don't remember my grandma being there. She was there for every birthday, graduation, and she loved the holiday's where she could spend time with family & friends. She was a soft and gentle person. I can't recall her ever getting upset or angry with me. We'll maybe once or twice if I used bad language!
My grandma lived next door to me the entire time I was growing up. She used to let me come up to her house for dinner and we...

Grandma Gladys was always young at heart and the best grandma one could ask for. She is loved by many and will be missed. Her spirit lives on in all of us that were fortunate enough to know her.

We'll truly miss not seeing Gladys around and enjoying her company when visiting you. She was one of a kind. Now we have a Guardian Angel to watch over us. We need one! Rest assured that she's "tossing them back" with all of her old buddies. Gladys, we'll never forget you!

Although I haven't seen my Aunt Gladys for many years, I have always carried fond memories of the limited time we spent together. She was a very nice person and had a great sense of humor.

Gladys, my beautiful mother, friend, a good grandmother, great grandmother, mother-in-law, sister-in-law and adored Aunt to many. My mother was noted for her candor, her apparent love of family and being young at heart. She was tough and did not complain very much about life. She said that she was very fortunate. Mom would want everyone to remember her as being fun and having the courage to try those drinks known as "Prairie Fires". She always got a kick out of the younger generation as...

I will always have a special place in my heart for Gladys. God bless her family and friends.

Bonnie and Dennis,Jerry's girlfriend will be missed. We both enjoyed sharing her humor for life and wisdom her years brought to the table.
You were so lucky to have had her for so many years and she was very lucky to have you both.
Love,
Jerry and Lynne
