To The Nordarse Family,

I will always cherish and hold dear all my childhood memories where we spent countless hours sharing as a family.

My deepest sympathy to the entire family, 

With much love,

Eddie Mendez

I did not get to meet my aunt but a couple of times.  When we met, it was the first time for me as an adult meeting my family in Chicago.  I remember being so very nervous about meeting everyone that first night.  When I got introduced to Aunt Gladys, she grabbed my hands, her smile alone was just amazing.  She hugged me, kissed my cheeks and exclaimed, "mi vida!"  And told me she loved me.  With her kindness and loving gesture, all of my nervousness for meeting everyone vanished and I will never forget her.

Querida familia Nodarse: Lalo, Laz, Gladita y los nietos.
   Que tanto siento haber recibido la noticia que Gladys murio.   Yo tengo muchos bellos recuerdos de Gladys y de todos Ustedes.   Los bailes de Quinces,  El Club de Leones, Bowling.   Ustedes siempre fueron mas que amigos para mi y mis padres.  
         Descansa sabiendo que ella ya no siente dolor. Recuérdala como es ahora ... joven, sana y en presencia de nuestro Senor.   Dios los bendiga y que Su paz perfecta les traiga consuelo durante este momento tan difícil........Besitos,   Anita (Miranda) Vasallo 

To the Nodarse Family,

As far as my memory allows me to travel your mom and your beautiful family will always be in my childhood. Where life has taken us in different paths and distance replaced childhood I can share with you that whenever I saw your mom and dad it brought me back to the memory of childhood which will always be cherished.

In this time of sorrow words can only comfort. I pray that there is a little comfort in knowing that I share in your loss.

God bless you

Nestor Jr, Liset, Alex, Justin, Bryce, Megan and Brittany



Gladys - querida amiga te voy a recordar como  lo que fuiste para mi. Una bella persona, sencilla, leal, cariñosa, siempre sonriente y demostrando amistad y el inmenso amor a su esposo, hijos, nietos  y familia en general. Por eso y por otras muchas virtudes imposible de enumerar.

En paz descanses hasta vernos de nuevo en la gloria de Dios como esperamos!

Siempre te recordaremos 

Mary y Nestor

Sintiendo mucho la perdida de aquella que fue mas que una amiga una hermana que compartio con nosotros los duros y primeros años de este largo exilio.  Juntos nuestras dos familias enfrentamos los diarios problemas de trabajar, criar y educar
a nuestros hijos. Los lazos de amistad que nos unia  se convirtieron en lazos de familia. 
Para Lalo, Lazaro, Gladita y familia vaya nuestro  sentimiento de dolor y cariño. Los Mendez.

La ultima vez que vi a Gladys sus palabras fueron : Sonia mi sobrina, lamento no haber conocido a Jehová antes en mi vida. Yo le respondí que ese era el momento para ella y para Jehová y que Jehová la quería muchísimo.
Gladys, Jehová te quiere muchísimo y está ansioso esperando traerte de nuevo con tus seres queridos.
Se que ella no me escucha pero también sé que para Jehová todos sus siervos están vivos en su memoria y muy pronto estarán vivos en todo sentido.
Reitero mi amor a mi tío Lalo y mis primos Gladys y Lázaro.

I had the absolute privilege to encounter this loving  soul we all call Abuela.  From our first meeting I was immediately drawn to how open and real she was with me.  She proudly told me stories of Valerie and all of her grandkids.  Then how her and Papi met and  how she was a teacher.  I didn’t want the conversation to end, I was hooked.  After that night, I realized that this woman is a true treasure to human kind.

Over the years, I would hear stories from people of how many lives she has touched while giving unconditional love to all.  I may not have been her blood but she made me and my children feel like we were her family instantly. She is a constant reminder to me of how beautiful the human spirit can truly be.  

Abuela: You should be very proud of setting the standard for how people should treat one another.  You’re entire family looks up to you and your legacy will shine eternally.  I love you forever.

My earliest memories all include you my beautiful aunt. You have always been a big part of my life. I am grateful to have known you and I am a better woman for it. You always had so much love to give, so much kindness. Your smile lit up the room. You showed me that no matter how many we love, there is always room for more. Thank you for including me in your love. I loved to see how deeply you loved your beautiful family. My heart hurts with your loss, you are so missed and you are so loved. I can’t wait to hug you again... “just a little while longer”... Jehovah can’t wait to bring you back and we can’t wait to welcome you with so much love and so many hugs... 

I am very sorry to hear of Gladys' passing. I will forever remember her as a loving and caring person.  She will always have a special place in my heart.  I send you my love, prayers, and deepest sympathies.

Sintiendo una enorme pena, por tan triste perdida; amiga querida por muchos años, donde compartimos por muchos años cosas buenas y malas también. Pero buenas memorias. A su familia Lalo, Lalito y Gladyta. Fuerza y resignación por la perdida de una mujer valiente, cariñosa y querida por muchos. Que esté en la gloria de Dios!

Gladis mi amiga y hermana , como ella me decía , Hildita cuando tú llegaste de Cuba y venías con tu bultico en los brazos (Dorita)  con tanta vergüenza y después te hiciste dueña de mi casa Y , asi fue porque ella abrió las puertas de su casa y me acogió como una hija , cuando yo me sentía tan solita en un país tan diferente y sin mi familia,asi era ella y asi continuo todos los días de su vida y por extensión toda su familia siempre con mucho amor para todos , ansiosos de verte otra vez en el nuevo mundo esperamos con anhelo querida Gladis

Querida familia Nodarse,

Nadie mejor que Jehová puede entender a perfección lo que ustedes están experimentando ahora mismo con la pérdida de Nuestra querida Gladys. 

Les damos gracias a Jehová por la oportunidad de haberla conocido, disfrutamos mucho de su preciosa personalidad, tan amorosa y alegre, lo cual facilitó amarla. La extrañaremos.

A la vez queremos dejarle saber lo mucho que sentimos que estén experimentando el dolor que causa perder a un ser tan querido. 

Estamos seguros que les traerá mucho consuelo el amor y cuidado que Gladys recibió departe de todos ustedes, especialmente cuando ella lo necesitaba más.

Lamentamos no poder quitarle su dolor, pero si podemos orar por ustedes a Jehová nuestro padre quien si tiene el deseo y poder de hacerlo, y continúe dándoles de su espíritu para sobrellevar su dolor y les consúele. (2-Corintios 5:3-5)

Anhelamos pronto volver a verla en el día de la resurrección y disfrutar todos juntos de la vida que realmente es, en condiciones perfectas.

Lamentamos mucho no poder estar junto a ustedes en estos momentos tan dolorosos. Aunque estamos separados por distancia, estamos cerca a ustedes en nuestro corazones y pensamientos. Anhelamos verlos en el futuro cercano con la ayuda de Jehová. Mientras tanto reciban nuestro amor y un fuerte abrazo.


Todos recordamos la personalidad tan dulce de Gladys ella siempre trataba a todos con mucho cariño  y siempre incluía un comentario positivo y de esa manera tocó dulcemente las vidas de todos quienes tuvimos la dicha de conocerla algo que siempre recuerdo es que durante nuestras reuniones buscaba a mi hijos ,ella siempre decía que kaley estaba muy linda , y decía que Danielito era su novio esa ternura fue lo que dejó bellos recuerdos para nosotros...Algo en que ella creía firmemente es la resurrección ,cuanto anhelamos que llegue ese día por eso a ella dedicamos las palabras escritas en Job 14:15 ""Tu llamaras, y yo mismo te responderé . Por la obra de tus manos sentirás anhelo""

Querida Hermana Gladys la congregacion Norte y mi familia la extranaremos mucho! llegaba Usted a algunas reuniones en el Salon del Reino a pesar que no se sentia bien! Yo notaba que usted estaba muy orgullosa de su querido hijo por que siempre se esforzaba por  estar presente y sentia expectativa cuando el tenia sus asignaciones. Siempre estaba lista para saludarme y ofrecerme su mejilla,presta para responder mis Preguntas y atenta y absorta en nuestras conversaciones. El domingo recibimos la noticia que te nos adelantaste, y posiblemente algunos de nosotros te seguiremos pronto, pero ten la seguridad que en algun momento en el futuro cercano o lejano volveremos a besar tu rejuvenecido rostro!




Gladys or Abuela as I would call her was truly a beautiful soul! Always smiling, always happy and most importantly always loving! Even though we were not related by blood I considered her as family and she will always be in my heart! I will miss seeing her when I visit Chicago but I take comfort in knowing that she is in Jehovah's memory and that is the best place to be and I look forward to welcoming her back again really soon! Sending all my love, prayers and deepest sympathies to the entire family!
Love
Amrika

Gladys was a loving ,sweet and kind person.  Every time I would see her in a family event,  she was a pleasure to talk to.  She Would always tell me a story of her past in Cuba or since she was a teacher in her career and , I was s teacher assistant we would talk about kids .  She truly loved working with kids .  
She will be missed but only for a little while because Jesus said, there’s hope of resurrection John5:28,29 .  My condolences to The Family . We will see her soon again ,     Miriam and Greg Diaz 

I will miss my aunt Gladys, she was always so kind with her words and a loving person who never held back from telling you “ Te quiero mucho” she would say that both to me and my brother Ray and that always touched my heart.I loved how my aunt Gladys spoke of her children Lazaro and Gladita she always said such nice things about them what good kids she had and how she loved them  ,not all mothers do that and her grandchildren too what they were doing and showing me pictures and how she loved them .I loved her sense of humor she was always laughing and telling funny stories  of the past when we were kids .I always loved that no  matter how sick she was  she didn’t let it stop her from going out with her husband and family and she was always smiling and happy  you would never know how sick she really was. She was very good to me she always wished good things for me. I know for sure that she will be in the new system because Gladys is the kind of person Jehovah wants in his new system . I will miss her.

My sister-in-law Gladys Nodarse was a very good and an exceptional person. She was a good daughter, a caring wife, a loving mother who was always there for her son Lazaro and her daughter Gladys. She educated and raised them very well. She raised them to be people with a lot of love and compassion. She always took care of her granddaughters and grandson. She was a good sister to all of her brothers. She was someone who persevered in life. She was a teacher in Cuba & the first thing she did when she came to the United States was to renew her license and become an English teacher, which is the profession she retired in. She will always be remembered by everyone. She never had any problems with her brother-in-laws and sister-in-laws, she treated us like we were her own brothers and sisters. She was always so kind to my children. She will always be in our minds and in our hearts. Rest In Peace. 

Escribo en nombre de Jorgito,Jorge y mío.A Gladys siempre la recordaremos por su amor y generosidad hacia todos nosotros nuestra deuda de gratitud hacia ella es eterna.siempre la recordaremos.

To us the Nodarse Family also are thefamily  never forget the way alway help us Gladys is Angel in heaven always taking care of her family what a blessing family my prayers for the whole family Love you forever
                                       NEREIDA& FELIX 

My aunt Gladys was such a loving and effectionate person she treated me like a son calling me “mi nino” and should would always tell me “te quero mucho”every time she said it I could see the love in her eyes and it would make me want to cry.i never have known some one who wanted to live so much and enjoyed life so much even when she was so sick. She told me she wanted to live as long as she could to see her grand children grow up. I love my aunt Gladys very much and will always remember her. One thing is certain she is alive to God for he is a God of the living not the dead. She will wake up in the paradise earth healthy, happy, and with her zest to live, and this time forever.

Gladys was a beautiful person inside and out. Whenever she would visit the Morton Grove congregation I couldn’t wait to say hi to her and give her a hug. She was always smiling and always had something nice to say. She was a lovable person and she will be missed. 

My deepest coldolences to Gladys’s family during this difficult time. I can’t wait to see her smiling face again very soon. Love, Natalie 

My beautiful abuela Gladys was a lively and very happy person. Extremely generous.  Something I have always admired from her is how generous she was. Didn’t matter what it was she would give it and not expect anything in return. Everyone she met she treated them as family. I will never forget our family nights every Monday. I also will never forget her picking us up every Monday and taking us to subway after school and every Friday taking Veanna and me to ruby tuesdays. I will miss her laugh and her hilarious sayings when it came to wine.  I am also privileged to see her grow in her relationship with Jehovah. Thanks to Jehovah for a lovely promise, I look forward to seeing my abuela Gladys in the paradise as her young healthy and funny self. 

Our family  here from Florida, Graciela, Julian, our daughter, and my father with my sister Xiomara send our deepest  condolences and love to our cousin Lalo, Lazaro, Gladita and the whole family. We would  have loved to be there with all of you sharing the memory of our beloved Gladys. BUT God is with you and we pray for His Peace to soothe your sorrow. 
I, Graciela, feel very deeply about  Gladys' passing because I have not seen her for a while. But I loved Gladys as if we were related by blood. She was married  to my cousin Israel (Lalo). My father, Omar, my sisters, my husband and I remember Gladys with great love. For me she was very a very sincere, friendly  and loving person who strived to do good. She inspired me when she decided to go back to school in order to regain her teaching degree. As years passed by, I always  found Gladys to be honest and a lovely wife, mother and grandmother.  For her family was always very important. 
Most of all she had a wonderful sense of humor! 
Lovingly,
Graciela Cadena


Mi querida Gladys fue como mi otra abuela, siempre fue una persona bella por dentro y fuera, amorosa, hospitalaria y querida por todos.  Anhelo escuchar su voz nuevamente cuando me llamaba su querido nieto.  Y así la ví yo a ella, como mi abuela querida.  A toda mi familia Nodarse que sepan que los amamos a todos.  Lalo, Lalito y Carol, Gladys y David,  hijos y nietos, todos queridos amigos y familia cercana, sentimos juntos está tristeza, pero a la vez compartimos la misma esperanza de verla nuevamente en plena salud como nos lo promete nuestro amoroso padre Jehová.

Agradecido de tener la fortuna de compartir en vida momentos tan hermosos y de seguir juntos adelante hasta el día que nuevamente la veamos.

Siempre juntos con mucho amor,  familia Montenegro. ❤

Gladys was my sister in law
But more than that was my real sister
She left a trail of love & generosity
Thru out her life
She was loved by every body
She bought warm coats to children of poor family during the years as a teacher
Also bought school supplies for thouse 
That could not afford them 
The Nodarse family Es very grayfull
To her. , I am sure god has special place for her
God bye my sister from your favorite 
Brother inlaw & real brother

My grandmother used to pick me up from school all the time. Thanks to that I learned Spanish. I also gradually gained two chins. She wouldn’t say no to me asking for pizza and a liter of soda everyday before actual dinner. I cherish talking to her as a kid and learning from her. She is greatly responsible for me learning another language: a priceless gift. Those are memories that are engraved in my heart.

Esperando el día escucharla de nuevo y su risa, oír su comentario de..."que muchacho tan guapo".... Le doy gracias a Gladys y Lalo por darnos unos hijos  que llegaron a ser mis más queridos amigos que amamos muchísimo.

Que Jehová le de fuerza a su esposo Lalo senior, y a sus hijos Lazaro y Gladys y a la entera familia Nodarse durante este tiempo tan difícil. Que sepan que nuestro Dios Jehová levantará a todos nuestros queridos familiares y amigos pronto en un mundo mucho mejor...

"Juan 5:28 No se maravillen de esto, porque viene la hora en que todos los que están en las tumbas conmemorativas oirán su voz  29 y saldrán, los que hicieron cosas buenas a una resurrección de vida."

Que seguíamos aguantando durante este tiempo para poder darles la bienvenida...y abarazrlos 🤗besarlos😘 todos en un paraíso🏞...mi amor❤❤❤ y abrazos cristianos familia Febus .
