Gladys’ Family, We have known the Ball Family all my life and my little Dad used to sing with Enoch, Sr. who gave me my first hair cut. I remember Wilkie Haynes too. In life we are never ready to lose our loved ones and the only comfort has to come from our Faith in the Sovereignty of God and the manifested concern of caring friends. Enoch, Everette, Lillian, and Ruth please know we are thinking of you and will hold you in our prayers. My little sister Mary Clark Lucas joins me in expressing our sorrow to the Ball Family. Joe

To the Ball family, We send our sympathy, thoughts and prayers.
Growing up next door to your family home, we always felt like you were part of our family. Mrs. Ball taught my Mother to sew little girls dresses and Mr. Ball cut my brothers hair. We all felt a great bond of friendship with your family. Gladys will be missed by everyone who knew her.
