I am so sorry to learn of Gladys’ passing. She was married to my brother, Virgil Shelton, and was a wonderful wife to him. I have a lot of love and respect for Gladys as well as happy memories of her. She was so kind and cheerful and she always left you feeling better after you had been with her. Our loss of her on this earth is definitely heaven’s gain.
