Speaking to Glad over the years, she was not impresed by her name. All the other sisters names were much nicer, she said. So I wrote her this poem. Gladys What's in a name You say with yours, you are not keen When there's Sarah May then Josephine, Christobel; where on Earth did they find that. She must have been drawn out of a hat. The Marie, that's pretty too. then along came me; another girl called Sue. So here we go with yours, you must not be sad because whereever you have been in life, you have aways been GLAD. It proves no matter what the name, it's who you are; having a sister is a blessing. You have always been a shining star. Shine Bright Gladys Goodnight GodBless by your beloved sister Susan Love from Sue, David,Richard and Chris xxx

‘Rappy’ as she was fondly known, was a special part of Craven Arms. She is greatly missed by friends at the Age UK Lunch Club, The Craven Arms Tea Set and the Methodist Church. She will be fondly remembered for her determination, sense of humour and friendliness.

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Gladys. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.
