Dear Joyce,Carolyn.Bev. Will,Gennifer and all your families, We were sorry to hear of Gladys passing, but didn’t she live a long ever busy life, right up to the last few years. I(Luan) learned many things from her ; how to make apple dumplings and tips on gardening too!! When I would go to their home as a nurse to care for Floyd, she would always offer me a cold drink!! Now she is home with her loved ones and Jesus! May knowing others care give you comfort.In Christ’s love & friendship,Terry and Luan Swigert&family, Monmouth,Ill.
