    I just read about your loss and wanted to extend my condolences. I think of your family fondly, even though it’s been close to 50 years since we were neighbors!

    Gladys was a real joy. She and my mother were terrific friends. I will always remember visiting Gladys whenever I visited my Mom in Columbia. She was always so hospitable and friendly.

    I was looking through some old pics and ran across a pic of her. She truly warmed my heart. I took care of her at Candelight Lodge
