Gladys was also "mom" to me. She always treated me as if I was just another son. She was a wonderful lady that I'm glad to have known for most of my life. She will be missed by me and everone who knew her(including anyone who ever tasted her cooking).

I only knew Gladys a short time compared to most of her friends, but she was one of my favorite people. She made me laugh and called me Matilda. That was your name if she couldn't think of yours quick enough. I'm thankful for the opportunity to have known her.

I was sorry to hear about your Mom but thrilled that she is with the Lord. She was always such a fun person and had a great laugh. I will be praying for each of you at this time.
