Lots of fond memories growing up with the Ayers boys at Duncan Memorial Methodist Church (now United Methodist). As I recall there were 3 families with 5 children: the Ayers, the Leonards, and my family, the Priddys, during that time. I have particularly fond memories of your mother who was always so kind to me. I'm pretty sure she was one of my Sunday School teachers and Vacation Bible teachers on a number of times over those years.

Gladys was such a beautiful lady. My family had the opportunity to meet her while she was in Hanover Manor. She became such a beautiful blessing and true friend to my mother in law.she always greeted me with a big hug and a smile. She is already missed by her friends in Hanover manor and we are sending prayers to her family. Saying she was a sweet friend is an understatement. She was truely part of our family.
