I want to extend my condolences to Gladys family. I work at University Park in Activities. Gladys has been one of my one on ones for almost 5 years. I have enjoyed many special times with Gladys, especially when she was able to communicate. I enjoyed playing music for her. I am so glad Linda you and some of her grandchildren got to have a Candlelight dinner with her recently.
I know it is a difficult time, I lost my mom and mother-in-law both this year.
Gladys is walking streets of gold and no more illness to deal with.
Hold tight to your precious memories, those can never been taken away. Remember our loved ones our in our future and we will see them again.
