My heart breaks but is glad at the same time. I will miss Gladys\’s smile and witty jokes. She no longer feels pain and she is with Walter, dancing with the love of her life!! I have really known Gladys on a personal level for a few years. We would spend countless hours putting together puzzles and watching old game shows together. She became one of my best friends on earth. She also taught me to love watching golf. We did it every weekend of the summer, when I was there. I light a candle, for my dear friend Gladys, to say that your light will always shine. You have touched so many lives, both you and Walter. Myles and Sophia will remember the good times we had puzzling together at Miss Gladys\’s house. I miss and love you friend ❤️
She was a very sweet woman and will be missed.
Aunt Gladys you will be missed. I have wonderful memories of Christmas at one of the rotating between my parent’s. Bill and Silvia, Rita and Frank and Gladys and Walts. These are great memories.
Rest in peace,
Your niece Denise Nelson Jackson

I’m so sorry to hear of your loss of Gladys. She helped welcome me into the church and was an inspiration to me, to be a better person, every time I met her.
