We got to visit with Gladys & the Family on several occasions over the years cause she was my Stepdad’s Sister. She enjoyed and loved her Family so much. The Lord was her strength which was very evident. Alvin & Family, you did well caring for her. May God’s perfect Peace & Love surround all of you during this time.
Christian sympathies to the family. May God wrap each of you in His loving arms.
Gladys was a wonderful neighbor to my mother, Mabel Ferrell. My condondolences to her family.
