To the family of Gladys Freund,
Speaking for my parents and myself, we will always remember Gladys as a wonderful and warm person. My parents, Carolyn and Glenn Smith, worked with her at William Allen High School and always talked of her in the warmest of terms. She and my mother sang in the Chancel Choir years ago. i will remember her from my years at school and church. You wanted to give her a big hug when you saw her.
Our deepest sympathy to Mary and John and your families.
Kimber Smith,for himself and his parents.
