Dear Linda, Chrissie, David and families,
My condolences on the passing of your mom. Gladys was a wonderful lady. How lucky we all were to have had such loving and caring parents!
To Linda and Families: I was so shocked and saddened to learn of your Moms’ passing. I knew I hadn”t seen her around. I hope she did’nt suffer. She was such a kind and loving lady. She will be missed greatly. Regards- Donna Johnston
To the Futter Smith and Ireland Families,
Your Mom was probably the cutest sweetest Woman I have ever known. She was also the strongest woman, I have ever known. She was a Light in the lives of everyone she ever touched! You all have so many fond memories of your Mom, make sure to pull from those, its ok if you get a tear in your eye when you think of her. That tells you just how dear she was! Rest In Peace Sweet Gladys with the Love of your life!
I can’t believe you are gone, but I understand why. I am happy you and grandpa are reunited together. Until we meet again… Love you grandma.
We will love you forever mom. May you be reunited with dad and enjoy the music and peace in heaven. The greatest gift I ever had was you and dad and my parents. Much love always…
