My sister mentioned the passing of your mother. I remember your dad when he rode the bus to school at the Gilman Public School, WI. Our family lived across the road from Wendell & Leddy when the had the bar and dance hall. When did your father pass. Wendell & Leddy had 2 daughters.

Dave, Michelle, & Kathy:
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
Even though I hadn't seen Gladys in a while, I have fond memories of growing up across the street from your family. I will always remember your mom's laugh, and how much she enjoyed the neighborhood block parties.
My sincerest condolances go out to all of you.

Dear Koolmo family,
I didn't know your mother very long but I was honored by being asked to join her card club. Not long after I started to play cards with Gladys, June and Loretta she was diagnosed with cancer. She always had such a positive attitude and we really thought she was going to beat this dreadful illness.
My sincere sympathy to her special family that she adored. She was one nice lady!! God bless
