My Aunt Gladys was quite a lady. Her impact on the lives of the Woody Rehm family can never be measured. Thank you for spoiling your little brother but, mostly, for sharing Jesus with him as his Sunday School teacher. How many lives were changed with that one act. Your Christian legacy will go on and on and on.
