Sorry for your loss, Hermana Gladys was a woman of God, I remember when I was young in Forty Church. Que Dios la tenga en su Gloria. I wish I can be there to support your family but I moved to Florida in November. I will continue to keep you guys in prayer through this difficult time.

My condolences to the family. Gladys will live our hearts forever. I will always remember her for her love of gardening, flowers, and especially the color yellow. I only knew her briefly through her daughter Carmen, my next-door neighbor, but in that short time I found her to be sweet, kind, and a blessing to all her knew her. I will miss seeing her.
Our condolences 💐. Our families have known your beloved granma since the 1970’s at Pastor Fortis Church. Great person overall and beloved by many. We are assured to see her again in paradise!
Lina,
My condolences.
Gladys in the picture has a beautiful, welcoming smile.
I missed the email notice from Katlin as I do not open some emails.
I am glad I noticed I had failed to open an email from Midwest and opened it.
My parents and youngest brother have passed.
Losing someone who unconditionally loved you, your family and was a daily part of a lot of your life and who you trusted and loved is a giant loss as not very many of those we meet have such attributes.
We go through our adult years getting a better understanding of and thus preparing for our mortality and the mortality of our loved ones and go on to miss and morn their passing.
From her smile Gladys appears to have been an exceptionally caring, loving, and pleasant woman.
Your and your family’s loss will be in my thoughts.
My Condolences and Best Wishes.
Joe
She was a gift
