    I always enjoyed visiting Durham and seeing the family. Gladys always made us feel like we were at home. Her love for her family was beyond compare. She had a great spirit about her that she used to the fullest extent. I want to pass along my condolences to those of us left in Durham and all the others that knew and loved Gladys. She was one great lady. We will love you and miss you and remember you forever!
