Some people come into your life as a lesson and only stay for a while. Others come into your life as a blessing and stay for a lifetime. Gladys was a blessing, a true friend, and confidant and I will miss her terribly.. Heaven has a true angle.
Gladys will always be remembered as a blessing to New Covenant United Methodist Church. She understood the church and served well till the end. I will miss you my “Special Friend” but glad that Heaven is blessed with your presence.
