Gladys was one of the kindest people I have here met. She always welcomed me into her home and was an outstanding cook, her lamb chops and salmon was second to none. She was a sweet and gentle soul, selfless and caring. She was an outstanding mother and wife. You will be missed Gladys. My thought and prayers to Chad and John during this hard time.

Gladys is one of my mother Grace’s dearest and oldest friends. She was such a special, spunky, thoughtful, and cherished woman who will be forever missed by those who were blessed enough to know her. Gladys was always on the hunt for a unique treasure, but she herself was the true treasure! Deepest sympathy to John and Chad for their loss.
With love & sympathy, Jill Dobrowolski, Preston, and Vivian

Dear Puts, I love and respect you more than you know. I have so many good memories. We shopped until we dropped, did lunches and always laughed. The only solace I have is that you are happy, healthy, at peace and with the rest of our family in heaven. You are our guardian angel.
