Aunt Kathryn, Monique & David - from my husband and myself, we express our deepest sympathy to you. Aunt Gladys was my favorite. The best thing I remember about her is her split pea soup. I never ate it until she made it at grandma's house. She was also so positive to me every time I'd see her. But the thing that sticks with me most of after I got married and Aunt Norma, Let and I took a trip to visit the family, she remembered my husband's name after only meeting him one time before we got married. She was an extraordinary woman and a great aunt to me.

She will be missed, but I know that she is with my dad, my grandparents, Aunt Mary and great grandpa just having a great time!



Love you all very much!
