Personal note from Skip, Judy, Jay and Family

Heaven gained a wonderful angel…we were blessed by having Gladys as our Wife, Mom, Mother-in-Law, Grandma, Great Grandma, Aunt, and Friend...a rock in our family’s foundation who will be greatly missed…always ready and willing to plan and prepare for our next adventure or quickly organize an impromptu event…a special lady, kind, loving and friendly…always upbeat with a big smile…a precious, remarkable woman, such a gem…wonderful hostess who made you feel comfortable and included you as though you were family…supportive, selfless, caring and always had your back, no matter what…a special part of all our lives who lived a full life while loving, supporting and caring for our entire family…we'll cherish the memories...forever loved and never to be forgotten.
