My parents Al and Millie Silberling were dear friends of Gladys and Stan. I am Al and Millie's daughter and have such fond memories of Gladys going back to the days when we lived in Monterey, CA. The "club" was such a big part of so many friends. Since both my parents have passed, it's hard to keep up with other friends of theirs. Please know that both myself and Bill are very sorry for your loss. Your mom was a very special lady!!##imported-begin##Diane and Bill Buss##imported-end##
Gladys,
We met when I was in Boy Scouts as a young boy. I met this kid in the troop named Jeff, which was your son. Jeff and I became inseperable for many years doing troop activities, camping and hiking on our own, doing activities that good kids do together. When I met you and Stan, your husband, I knew that you were a good family with great values and morals. Much like my mother and father, you were a bit older and wiser than most parents. I was born late so I understand the "mature" way of thinking. I considered you and Stan as my second set of parents. You taught me many things in life that do not seem to ring true these days, i.e. work hard, save your money, do things for others, follow the scouting morals and values, treat others with kindness, and ALWAYS have a good heart. I looked forward to our annual "get together" at the troop Christmas dinner. I will miss our "date".
I am glad that you are finally reunited with your husband Stan and I look forward to seeing you guys once again when I arrive. THANK YOU for all you have taught me for living a great life. I will miss you.##imported-begin##John Robinson##imported-end##
