Dear Miss Karen:
Some people come into our lives and quietly go; Others stay for a while and leave footprints in our hearts and we are never the same.
We are very sorry for your loss.
Miss Gilda is an angel in heaven.

I was a 1957 classmate of Gilda's, in Fort Fairfield, and we touched base once in awhile on Facebook. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. Loretta Burns Boaz
