She also had a great compassion for the many stray cats that she fed over the years by following her father's advise growing up; if an animal was hungry, you should feed it.

It is so sad to have our love ones go to God. We all know this time will come but makes it know easier. You were one in a million and we will miss you. You are the last of our aunts and uncles on the Orr side. Give my mom and dad a hug for me, tell them I miss them but look forward to the day we will be tohether again in our Lords kingdom. Rest in peace.

No more leaving little notes for Richard and I now mom trying to prepare us for this day. You told us not to cry because you were ready to die in hopes to ease our grief. Unfortunately the pain is still there in our hearts. You loved so many people and so many loved you. You never asked for anything for yourself, but wanted others to have what they needed. You were always quick to say "thank you" or "good job" to anyone and everyone. Your quick wit brought a smile to our faces and your German temperament would sometimes bring a finger wagging or a tug on our hair if we were in trouble. We never felt unloved, we were never neglected, nor abused. Richard, Mavis, and I were truly blessed to have you as a mother. God has wrapped his arms around you now and may you rest in peace.

I never had a chance to meet Gladys, but know how deeply loved she was by so many. My thoughts and prayers are with the whole family. Her spirit lives on in all of you.
