"Gladys was a great friend...I hadn't heard from her for awhile and tried to call her today when I found phone was no longer in service I checked this site and so sorry to say I found my Gladys. I worked with Gladys in Tucson, Az...she was a wonderful person to work with and to be around. I am so sorry for her family in losing such a loving person and my thoughts are with you all. If any of her family members, maybe Rochelle, since I met you also in Tucson could email me on what happened, I would appreciate it...her friend always "Mickey" aka June from AZ"

"Gladys was a very caring lady I met her when I was about 16 when I went out with her son Tony. She welcomed me in to her family. Gladys and Bob took care of our children Tammy and Jeffrey when ever we asked them. God Bless Gladys and her family."
