I will always remember Gladys as a stoic, kind and selfless woman who always put others before herself. She was a devoted mother, wife and wonderful mother-in-law. I will always cherish memories of long talks and shopping trips with her and Edgar. I am sure we have all been recipients of her kindness. I send my condolences to all the Kern's. I am especially sending love and support to Diane and John today. May you both find peace in all your memories of your beautiful mother.
Love,
Catherine Kern
