Aunt Gladys was one of a kind, she taught me how to hang wallpaper and I had many years of working with her and her family. She was old school and had
Real values and she worked hard all her life. I remember when we would come home from church on Sundays and have a 20 lb catfish in our bath tub from her latest fishing trip. I have lots of great memories with her. Fly high with the angles Auntie. RIP love you always. Wanda
