I remember Gladys from her attendance at Daughters of the Nile meetings. She always sat in the same place in the temple room, with her friend Marguerite Miller. Her gracious ways and beautiful smile will always be remembered by those of us who knew her. Jean Peterson, Past Queen, Hatasu Temple #1, Daughters of the Nile
