Eulogy for Gladys McGill from her Children


Gladys was born on January 3, 1918 and died on March 25, 2008. This 90-year journey took her to many places, where she had a wide variety of experiences.
Born in Harlingen, Texas, she saw many hard times as a child. She lost her father at an early age, and the family experienced tough challenges during the depression. Her older siblings worked to provide food for the family, and her wardrobe was a collection of homemade, hand-me-down...

Thinking of you ~ Adam , Amity and family of Grandma McGill.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Grandma, Thirty two years ago I was blessed into this life and accepted by a wonderful family that you raised to have the biggest, warm, accepting hearts. I was always told of the stories of you driving across country in a cold, uncomfortable jeep in the middle of a blizzard just to be there with me when I was born. This is just one of the many examples of my life that you did whatever it took to be there for me. I have always believed in my heart that you loved me before you ever...

I will always remember Gladys and her gentle spirit. Thank you for sharing her with us!

I will never forget Gladys' smile the morning of the day she died, sitting with her, holding her hand, hearing her say she wished she would hurry up and die and, yet, in the midst of all that, asking me how I was. All of us here at Living Community loved Gladys and we shall miss her so much.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
