thanks so much to Jeannette for writing to my mother Libby to let her know about Gladys. there are only two of the Iken brother and sisters out of 13 now left.my mom had a very nice visit with your mom a few years back.z

Gladys was one of my first care givers that I can remember outside of my parents and immediate family. She used to babysit my sisters and I when we were young. I have only the fondest memories of being welcomed into the home of the nicest lady next door that anybody could ask for! I learned a lot from her even though it seems all we did was have fun playing in her house and yard, picking cherries we beat

Gladys was one of my first care givers that I can remember outside of my parents and immediate family. She used to babysit my sisters and I when we were young. I have only the fondest memories of being welcomed into the home of the nicest lady next door that anybody could ask for! I learned a lot from her even though it seems all we did was have fun playing in her house and yard, picking cherries we beat the birds to until our hands, faces and clothes were red from the fresh juice. She showed us how to be good people, teaching us how to behave well and mind our manners. I love you, Gladys!!! I miss you and I will never forget you!!!

Gladys was always so happy to welcome my visits to her home over the past several years. We shared our joys and sorrows. She was thoughtful and kind to me and I have many fond memories to cherish of our times together. My prayers go to her children and grandchildren, whom she loved dearly.

Gladys was a wonderful person full of life. She loved bringing joy to others.

May God bless her family and help them thru this sorrowful time.

Gladys will be missed immensely. She has always been a second mom to both Paul and I. Her laughter, her beauty, her words of wisdom, her jokes, her dance, her harsh honesty, everything .... are things we will always remember and cherish. God bless the very special woman who always opened her home to all of us. Jennette, your relationship with your mother is truly special and you have shown how special and how much you love her by your
