I am so sorry for your loss. I have good memories of Gladys from childhood. We were your neighbors on Marshall Street in Lancaster City. My Mom is Pat Wagner and she sends her sympathies as well. God be with you all

So sorry to hear about your mom passing. This is one of the McKonly twins from church, so I knew her for most of my life. I remember her helping with VBS crafts. When I was in my 20’s I went to her house and she taught me how to make pine cone wreaths . I still have the one I made for my mom. I’m sure they are enjoying a reunion in heaven. ♥
