My Mother and I were so sorry to hear of Gladys' death. We both knew her from her volunteer work at Our Lady of Lourdes,(my mother works in the clothing room). Her commitment to her faith and her willingness to be of service was quite a fine example. Her friendly personality is missed by all who volunteered with her. May she and her dear husband rest in the gentle embrace of our God. May memories of better days and our shared faith bring you great comfort in this difficult time.
