Aunt Glady loved unconditionally. She had the warmest laugh and always had the right words to comfort. She told the best stories. I was very Blessed to have her as my God Mother and I miss her, but know her strength and love will always surround us.

I'd like to add to our earlier note by saying that if you read Glady's obit, you know she was no stranger to loss. But those sad experiences never left her bitter, just wiser and more empathetic with others' pain. She taught us many things: some practical, some profound. And she kept her wonderful sense of humor to the end.

Glady was the true meaning of a friend. Always there to listen to your troubles, go for a ride, share a lunch, or have a laugh with. She will greatly be missed by all who knew and loved her. The kindest person I've ever known. Fly high with your new wings Glady, and be at Peace at your Heavenly Home❤

Our dear friend... the first one we made on settling in Slippery Rock 20 years ago. We shared many meals, masses, Steeler games, and laughs over those years. As much as we will miss her, we will always treasure those memories. God, welcome her to her new home with You.
