Not sure what to say?

Glady was my roommate at Smith College. She was as dynamic and inspiring as the letters reflect. She will certainly live on in the hearts and minds of all the people that she helped and inspired.

Gladys was wonderful friend and mentor. I cherish the times we had and I miss her. She made lovely things happen. Being in her presence was a healing and fun.

A bright spark has left the Earth.
