You were my sunshine when it rained, my light in the dark. You made the best cupcakes and really knew how to make me feel special. You were the best grandmother a girl could have. I will never forget everything you taught me and did for me. I will always miss you.
I am thinking and praying for your family.
Love, Ginny

Gladys was truly a special patient to Reta & I as we worked with her through Home Health Carepartners.
We both admired her determination and strong will. And, we enjoyed her wonderful sense of humor. You are in our thoughts and prayers during these difficult days. May God give you each an extra measure of His grace today and always.
