Someone so special can never be forgotten. We were honored to have known Gladys.

Condolences to Tom and all of the Raupp Family, at this difficult time.

Mothers are very special, never forgotten, always loved.

God Bless,

Steve Raab & Raab Family

To the family that Gladys loved deeply,
It is hard to put in words how much I am going to miss Gladys.  She has been a part of my life from the beginning.  My mom and Gladys had a life long friendship filled with laughter, sorrow, loyalty,  while celebrating each time both of their families grew. I have the blanket your mom made for my son.  I still giggle about them calling each other "Bertha."   I loved hearing the stories of her and mom's deep friendship.  Even when my mother moved to NM, there were letters that went back and for.
I am grateful that I had the opportunity to visit with your mom by phone.  We talked about the hard times and the good times my mother and your mom shared.  I had the chance to convey how much I appreciated your mother being in our lives. We always ended with "I love you." Gladys is irreplaceable.  She was family. I feel lost without her.
My deepest condolences,
Marla Beasley Cox

Aunt Gladys was one of the most memorable people you could  ever met.  She showed beauty on the inside and outside.  My most fond memories are going to meet Great Great Aunt Gladys with Great Grandma Thaisa around our birthday November 9th  to eat at Luby's Cafe at the old Bannister Mall area.  Horrible food but the best company money could buy.  Missed and loved forever! 

Gladys touched so many hearts. She was a model of poise and gratitude. It was my pleasure to witness the respect between she and George as husband and wife and to see her be able to even enjoy life after George too. We will miss your tender spirit.

Gladys was a no-nonsense, warm, loving, caring, call-it-like- she-sees-it great aunt (emphasis on the GREAT).  She was in a league of her own....a class act that never forgot her humble roots and never forgot a name.  She was a “movie star” to my mother, a best friend to my grandmother, and an inspiration to me in so many ways.  Aunt Gladys was a beautiful person.  We will all miss her warm smile and laugh....but never stop loving her.

Gladys was such a beautiful person. She was my great aunt,  she was very special to me. She will truly be missed.
