Dear John and family,
Thank you for participating in your mom's beautiful funeral. It was truly a blessing to be hear you speak and hear the family sing. You guys did a great job!
I thought about sharing something in the sharing time, but chickened out. Not my style, I know! ha. Anyway, what I remember about your mom is her amazing intelligence. Her kids obviously inherited it, too. Gladys was bright-eyed, alert, and observant. She could assess a situation and offer good advice.
I am glad your dear mom is safe in the arms of Jesus. We are grateful for her life. And yours. All glory to God.
Love,
Carylene Gentry
