Dwight, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your sister. I am certain she leaves with you and the family cherished memories of good times and laughter. Hang in there and if you need to talk, give a chic a holler.
Always a friend,

I was very sorry to hear of Gladys' death, what a special person she was. I worked with her for 13 years at VEI and we always looked forward to her stylish dressing and cute, mischievous
laugh. We loved ya Gladys, may you rest in peace.

My heartfelt sympathy to all of you. Gladys and I worked together at Chippenham Hospital many years ago and I truly loved her. She was a ray of sunshine in my day. I would see Gladys on my annual check at VEI and always enjoyed seeing and talking to her. I will truly miss her positive attitude and beautiful smile. May God comfort in your time of sorrow, but remember that joy will come in the morning.

Gladys will be very much missed at the Virginia Eye Institue, where she brightened many with her big smile and "fancy dress". I often asked Gladys "which party we were going to" as I admired her different, attractively worn clothes over the 24 plus years she enhanced our lives at work.
Always interested in our families, and always there to help our physicians and staff thru their day.
My condolences to her family and friends. We will all miss her at VEI.

I was so very saddened to read of Gladys' passing. She and I were school mates for elementary and some of high school. I last saw Gladys 6 years ago and she was doing well. She was someone special. My condolenses to the family.
