I would just like to pass on my condolences to Gladys' family. I worked with her at the Ballet and she was such a sweet and fun woman -I have thought of her many times over the years wondering how she was doing. I am glad to see that she enjoyed her life to the fullest! - Posted by: Janice Dudeck (ex-coworker) on: May 07, 2012
