Gladys Larue Long-Mead

The passing of Gladys is yet another closing of my childhood memories.My first job was working for skating time at the rink. Ray and Gladys taught me many things including bleach is the only way to clean and never to leave finger prints behind on the cotton candy machine. They truly taught me how to be a good employee. I have such good memories of growing up in the skating rink and still skate to this day with my kids. Please know you are all in my thoughts and I hope you realize all the...

Ray & Gladys were the best friends. I worked at the skating rink for several years and they were always kind and generous. My condolences to all the family.

We have many great memories of Gladys.
We would like to express our sympathy to the family. We will always remember the good times we had coaching at the rink in Bellingham.
Please know we are thinking of you all.
