I am so sorry to receive this news. While I rejoice in her victory, I mourn for the family and am holding them up in prayer now.

I am sorry to hear of Mrs Sloan's passing.  So many memories that are precious.  My Mothers love of Gladys and Mrs Phillips was a special friendship.   So much service to the LORD by these ladies.  Wonderful memories.    
  My prayers for each family member during this time.

  We feel so blessed and thankful that we had the privilege to get to know Gladys when John served as our interim pastor. Gladys' sweet smile endeared her to us right away. Even when we shared a humorous comment, her laugh was so genteel and quiet, but added a twinkle to her eye.  She was a gentle soul who lived her faith in Christ. We extend our love and prayers to John and the family.

Sincerest condolences to you, John, and to all of your family.   You two have been a special team for God's Work for all  of those years. 
My fond memories are rooted in the Dearing Residence Hall at Oakland  City University the first year it was open!  My prayers are for your comfort in the Hope and Assurance that we share in knowing Jesus.

Gladys and I lived 4 doors from each other on Indiana St.  We became best friends. We even helped out at her family grocery store after attending classes at Reitz.  Gladys tried (unsuccessfully) to teach me how to play the piano. We had great fun together.  I will miss your wonderful smile and friendship my friend. 

John, family, please accept our heart felt condolences upon Gladys' passing/promotion. Our loss is certainly heavens' gain.  They have gained another organist for the choir.  Our prayers and thoughts are with you and we know that the God of all comfort will be very near through these very difficult moments to provide the care and strength that are necessary to carry us through to our own destination.

Mrs. Sloan was such a sweet and caring lady. We are praying for peace and strength for all of your family in this time of loss.

I can’t remember how many years Gladys was my Sunday School teacher and my VBS teacher in the annexed house down on Indiana Street.  She was patient with us!  Would you believe I remember a conversation she had with us about M.C. Hammer?  She taught us so many things as she encouraged us to set goals, to memorize scripture, to be kind to each other, to live out what we were learning and to make Jesus known.   I loved her laugh and the things that made her laugh.  She was one in a million. She will be missed, but I will never forget her.

I was in Deering Hall and she was our den mom.  Always sweet, loving and kind to us girls.  She served faithfully and I know she is enjoying  heaven and all  God has provided for her.  God Bless all of her family .    John , Thank u for being such a good son and caring for her.    Our loss is heaven's gain.   God bless u in ur time of grief.  Pat & Tom McKinney     Henderson, Ky.


Since 1969 I have admired and respected you.  Your kind genteel actions are an example to be followed.You are a Proverbs 31 woman. Even when we talked on the phone  your sweetness is always there. When you called just a couple of weeks ago we laughed like old times. Hopefully rapture will be soon and we will have a long time to catch up

She was a wonderful Christian lady. She always smiled and very kind. Prayers for the family.

Although my heart is breaking at the thought of no more earthly hugs I find joy knowing the angels are announcing her homecoming and all of Heaven rejoices upon her arrival.  Gladys taught me to say “no” so others could receive blessings by serving their Savior. Observing her sweet spirit as she so faithfully stepped up to the needs of others touched my life .  Precious memories how they’ll linger until we run those streets of gold hand in hand .
