You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this time of great sadness. I wanted to you to know what a special person Aunt Gladys, as she always was known to me, was. Throughout the years she talked with me, teaching me things as only she could, prayed with me and prayed for me through some of the most difficult years of my life. I will be forever grateful and I know she will never be far away from those she loved and cared for.
