Dear Sarah and V.R.,
I was saddened to hear of Aunt Gladys' passing. She was so talented. I remember watching her hands glide across the piano keys. I was just a young girl then, but I've always had this fond remembrance about her and her music. It was interesting to note all of the relatives in her writeup...so many unfamiliar names, and yet we're all cousins. She left a wonderful legacy. May God bless you and your family at this time. Sincerely, Linda (Young) Bolton (Cypress, Texas)

Hey Sarah, I read about Aunt Gladys in the Bmt. paper. I'm sorry I didn't get to really know her, but she looks so much like Mama Lay, my grandma. Just take comfort in knowing she belonged to God way before we got her. She must have been a lovely lady. God Bless you and your family...Love JoCarol Young Clark.....

I am so thankful for the opportunity to have known Mrs. Davis, and I will particularly remember her sweetly singing hymns. Praying God continues to give her family comfort and peace. God bless you all. Chaplain Ashley, Heart to Heart Hospice of Lufkin.
