Condolences For "Gladys Mae Glass"
I found out just a little while ago that Aunt Gladys had joined Uncle Garland in Heaven. Both Aunt Gladys and Uncle Garland were amazing! We have no doubt where they both are. I bet my Husband was standing in line to hug her neck. She and him always had a close relationship. We will see you when it’s our time to go to Heaven. Love You Aunt Glady’s!!!!
