Gladys.or as she would refer to herself in any e-mail correspondence, Glady. What a remarkable woman. You always had a big smile on on your face, never complained about physical pain. You were an inspiration to all who knew you.. I would tell my family about this incredible woman at North Ranch who learned to fly a plane later on her life. She was a worl traveller and played  pretty good golf in her eighties. I was so happy you won Senior club champion. What a role model. I was proud to know you and call you friend. I loved talking politics with you or  discussing the latest Vince Flynn book.. I hope you know how much you were loved and revered by all your friends. I think you did. May the angels welcome you  and embrace you. You were a delight here on earth. Love, Joani Dempsey

Gladys was such a perfect example of what loving and living life to the fullest means.  I hope to take a few lessons from her book of life.   She will be missed and will be in our hearts forever.  Sincerely, Farnaz Fardad-Finn and family

Gladys we are lucky to have had you in our life. You shared with us your laugh, spirit, and optimism. You were young in your heart and soul. People admired you and were inspired by you. We will miss you.

The sweetest person I ever met. She will be missed by us. She was a wonderful friend and neighbor.

Frank, Joani, and Maggie, know that you were loved and nurtured by Gladys and her memory will live forever in your soul-may ease the pain of her passing.

What a privilege to have known such an extraordinary person.  Mrs. McQuaid we simply adore you and will miss you very-very much.

Glady's I always enjoyed our conversations about golf and your adventures as a younger women on the East coast.  Last time I saw you was at Maggie's performance , I walked over to where you were sitting and you reached out to me with a twinkle in your eye, you said, hang in there, everything will be fine.  Thank you, Just know that Frank, Joani and Maggie will have love and support and everything will be fine..           Marsha La Marca
