The last time I spent with Gladys and Mom was during my nephew's wedding. Gladys was a a beautiful soul and I love to think that Mom and Gladys are both together hanging out and enjoying each other's company.  We love you Gladys and will cherish all the beautiful moments you gave us. ❤️

Grandma with Jaxxon and his bff James. I will always remember your dancing and being the life of every party! Grateful for all the love you gave us. Always in our hearts ❤️
Rest in Peace grandma! Love Cassie&Jaxxon

Thank you always for sharing all the family moments together, parties, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s. They were truly the best times, and if you know she was the best dancers and could dance all night. I know she is dancing with George in heaven! 🩷 we will miss her.

Gladys was always easy to play a joke on, she was always so good and took it like a real trooper! She had a great sense of humor, and we loved her for it!

We will never forget all the wonderful memories we shared on South 1st! She was a true Gem in the Southside.  Anyone who knew Gladys, knew her favorite pastime in Brooklyn was sitting on the stoop and chatting with all of us and those pass by our house. She will be missed, she was so loved.

Our condolences to your family. Lisa your mom was so sweet, loving, and full of joy. She was always smiling and dancing. If she wasn’t dancing, she was tapping her feet and hands. She will forever be remembered and will be missed.

She embraced me as a daughter from the first day we met, gracias
Gladys was a beam of light that brought joy and 'dance' into every room she walked into and will be forever loved!

My heart goes out to all of you at this terribly sad time. Gladys was a sweet, very loving, wonderful woman. Whenever I would see her she would give such a big hug and kiss to me that you could feel the love coming from her. And talk about a dancer!! She never stopped when there was a party! I send all my love to her family  and she will be missed.

Dearest Gladys. We will forever remember her beautiful smile and her biggest hugs. She may have been petite, but she had such an enormous heart. I will cherish  the stories she shared and her salsa dancing at every party.  She will be missed immensely, and forever be in our hearts ❤ 

May she rest in eternal peace 🕊️ Bendición

To our beloved Aunt,

You will forever hold such a special place in our hearts. We are so grateful that we had the opportunity to spend some time with you recently, and create a few more beautiful memories together. Those moments mean even more to us now, and we will treasure them always.

We will miss your soft-spoken voice, your gentle spirit, and that gorgeous smile that could light up any room. Your warmth and kindness touched all of us in such a beautiful way.

Although our hearts are heavy with your passing, we find comfort in knowing that the memories we made with you will remain with us always. You were deeply loved, and you will be deeply missed.

Rest peacefully, dear Aunt. We love you always. ❤️

Tia,
It’s difficult for me to put into words how much you meant to me and my family.  You always made us feel so special and connected.  I have so many precious memories of you and my cousins that I will forever hold in my heart.   You will be deeply missed but it brings me some comfort knowing that you are surrounded by family and safely in the loving hands of God.

Tia Gladys,  until we meet again, please know that your favorite nephew will love you and remember you always.

She was the sweetest Mother In Law a guy could ask for

May God give you peace during the quiet hours.
