Aunt Gladys was always a sweet, hospitable lady. She was a great example of how a Christian ought to live. She and her husband, Jack, were both outstanding examples to me and my family. She was well loved by all. It is with sorrow that we say goodbye, yet with great confidence that we know she is with her Lord and Savior,
Deepest condolences on the loss of your Mother. She was a beautiful person inside & out. Our family will never forget what a great friend she was. We are truly blessed to have known her.
