...from Gladys to some of her friends who were her support during her experience with Cancer...she wrote this March 13th 2002...3 months and one day before her passing....as I re-read the words she wrote...I realize that most of us facing illness...possibly life threatening illnesses... that we ...if we're blessed, have this special love in us that wants to share with our loved ones...I pass this on as a reminder to always live each day as if it were your last....again...not in a morbid way...but in a compassionate way to share with others... to honor ourselves...to be mindful of everyday. This is Gladys' letter ...may you receive the love from her as many of us did at that time...I don't want to ever forget her life ...her importance in the world. Love to you all.
" Dear Friends,
As I journey into a place where I've never been and that is so unfamiliar to me, a journey that sometimes gets lonely, sometimes sadness sets in and my spirit and energy momentarily take a downward spiral, I then instead think of it as an important part of my evolutionary journey, a gift that can help me learn and grow. And what I'm realizing is that those around me, family, friends and caring and sharing others are also given an opportunity to learn and grow.
And I am not afraid because I have the love and support of so many who truly care. For those of you that I've known for many years and we've shared many significant moments together, and for those of you who are also a part of my life and whom I have yet to meet one day, I can't help but feel so blessed.
My heart smiles as I think of all of you and Especially a very special
" angel spirit" that's you Summer who has been with me through all of this from the very beginning. I honor each and everyone of you, I always keep you in my prayers. I give thanks to God now for all the good that I have and all the good things to come. I give thanks everyday for the privilege of having you as my friends. I wish you all the Love your hearts can hold and many moments of Joy.
Thank you for You!!
So Dance away and let your Beautiful spirits soar.
Be Happy and Healthy Always, My Friends,
Lovingly,
Gladys"

I feel as though I know her through her words, and the words you speak of her. She was a beautiful inspiration to you and all of her friends, as you, dear Summer are to us.
