she was the greatest grandmother in the world and I will miss her very much.
it saddens me to hear of Glady’s death….I will remember her for her strength and kindness…didn’t see her very often but always knew she was an honest and caring woman….when I did see her after many years it was just the best day…I looked up one day while I was over to her sister’s home and there she was …still tall and so beautiful…just like she was so many years ago. I know she will be missed by her family and friends…she was always the caregiver and never ask much for herself….this world should have more Glady’s… it would be a better place. God’s mercy and grace to all……
