I have so many wonderful and happy memories of Gladys. She loved everyone and would do anything she could to help you. I had no idea how much she was involved in until reading it here. This picture of Gladys tells her story. She was a sweet, happy Christian lady with a beautiful smile.

Sincere sympathy to the family of Gladys. I worshiped the Lord with her at Mt Zion Baptist for several years and she was a great example of a godly woman. She was loved by everyone and she demonstrated love and kindness to all. May God bless you with His mighty power and give you peace that she is walking in the heavenly garden with her Jesus.
