My deepest sympathy to you Dave and Ken and all the grandchildren. I, too, loved your mother and grandmother and will miss her.
My eight-year friendship with Gladys was one of the most endearing friendships I have had. She was a very "classy", intelligent, and witty lady. She loved her family and and I enjoyed when she talked about them and what they were doing. She would don a hat where ever she went and definitely made a statement.
Let's remember all the fun times we shared with her. I know that would be what she would want us to do.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
