Mom had a favorite saying, “I can do it all” we have no idea where mom learned this saying but whenever we felt hopeless and down she would recite this and tell us to get up and try again.
Gladys of Homestead,Florida departed this life on April 1, 2006 while spending her time at her daughter Madelyn’s home. She loved life and lived it well. She had a very big heart and gave freely of her love to all. Gladys had an extend hand when it came to helping others pave the way.
But she always said "Whoever makes me cry until the end, will never ever find peace in their life - they will be miserable forever". These words are from her lips. Because she was so good to everyone but did not appreciate getting hurt by anyone.
