Dear Carol, and family, I was so sorry to read of the death of your mom. My deepest sympathy for your loss. I know how difficult this is since, my mom passed away in May. I hope that with time you will think of all the positive memories of your mom and hold them dear and that you will recall with joy the experience of having had her with you for all of this time. What I remember most about your mom was her snow white hair and her keen sense of humor. May you find peace in knowing that her journey is over and that she is in a far better place. Love, Lynn

Carol and Family,
We were so saddened to read about your mothers passing. I have such vivid and fond memories of your mother and your father . Often I would arrive at my parents house and hear loud laughter as I drove into the driveway and I knew the Gladstones were visiting. Our thoughts are with you at this time.

Hi Carol,
I don't think you will remember me but I worked with your mom at McKessons. I left there in 1986. Your mom was a beautiful person with a lot of wisdom. The younger girls all loved and admired her. May God comfort you at this time.
