Aunt Gladys was very special to me. I lived with her in Va for awhile along with Uncle Donald, aunt Cindy cousin Pat and Andy. Aunt Gladys was always happy and loved doing for all of us. She made the best grilled cheese sandwiches you could ever put in your mouth. I will miss her greatly. Wish I could be there but will be thinking about the family. God bless love to all
Uncle Ralph and Aunt Pat, So sorry for your loss. You all will be in our prayers and thoughts.
Aunt Gladys will truly be missed by all. She had a heart of gold and was always going out of her way to help people. I have so many good memories of her when I would visit down there and when she would come up to Michigan. I know she is home with the Lord, her parents and sibling’s. She was the best Aunt. God bless you…
Pat and Jerry, we are so sorry for your loss. Aunt Gladys always had a twinkle in her eyes and a laugh that made me laugh. We love you all and send big hugs to you and your families too.

To My Family,
I am sorry that I am unable to make it to Aunt Gladys’ funeral and be with you doing this sad time.
This morning I was on a bus riding up to see the Maroon Bells in Colorado. While being driven up to the drop off, the driver told us about the beautiful Aspen trees that were growing along the road and up the mountainside. He said that when the older trees die that new ones grow from the same root system, which is why they grow so close together. This information made me think of our family. Our older family members are now all gone, but there are so many of us, all from the same Gasperson roots.
Aunt Gladys was a special person to me, as I know she was to all of you. She came to Michigan and took care of me when I was about five when my mother had heart surgery. She and Jerry came to live with us for a Michigan winter. I feel pretty confident that for those of you who are older she probably took care of you at some time too. Aunt Gladys was one of the most caring people I have ever known. She was always there when someone needed her. She had a wonderful laugh, quiet sense of humor and was pretty feisty too!
To me Aunt Gladys’ legacy is her never ending kindness and caring for those around her. I like to think that her kindness runs in those Gasperson roots and that our way of keeping her alive is to continue her legacy.
Though I may not be there with you tomorrow, please know that I will be there in spirit.
With much love,
Denise
