Ms. Gladys was a regular participant of the C.T. Martin aerobics class, which is how I came to know her. She was the class inspiration. We looked to her for inspiration because she was always there, showing us how it's done as she moved to the beat of the music. Many the times when the feeling struck her, she'd stand and strut to the music and be in rhythm. She was soft spoken, kind-hearted, and fun. She taught me that to enjoy life you have to participate in it, not sit and watch it. The last time I saw her, the last thing I said to her was, "I love you too" and it was true. I'm happy that she has gone home and reunited with the family and friends that she used to reminiscence about. I love you, Ms. Gladys.
