My dear penfriend since Gladys was 14 and I 12 years old: I had no idea of her passing until my Christmas card just now was returned to me with no explanation. I searched the web for her name and found her obiturary. I am so deeply saddened by this news. We have shared a lot by mail in the past 63 years between England (my birth home) and the USA, where I came 3 years after marrying my USAF husband. I shall miss her long letters and I had hoped we could finally meet, and was thinking about it for this year. God Bless the family. - Posted by: Anita Watson (nee Winton) (Penfriend) on: Dec 24, 2012
