We are so sorry to hear about Gladys! We feel really bad but we can´t make it to the services because of prior commitments. We enjoyed having her as our neighbor! We remember about six months after Bob and Gladys moved in, Bob told us they had never had neighbors before and weren´t sure about it. He said they changed their minds and really liked having neighbors. The cutest thing Gladys ever told me was that she was worried she wouldn´t have any violets in Riverton. So she dug some up at her old home and brought them with her! :-). We really miss her! She was such a sweet lady! Sending hugs and prayers!
