We will miss Aunt Gladys very much, she was a wonderful person. Our hearts and prayer go out to the family. Our dinner table will be empty this Christmas, she will be missed. I'm not sure Uncle Wilbur was ready for her yet, but I'm sure he has his hands full now that they are together. All of our love to the family and if there is anything we can do don't hesitate to call. We love you all. Love Mabel Krauss
