I cannot express the deep sadness I feel at the loss of your loved one. Mrs. Gladys Hill was such a sweet, gentle and caring person. I have loved and respected her like a sister after meeting her through my mother, at New Ellis Chapel Church. She was so loving,kind and attentive to my mother,Vera Dawkins. Now, both of them have gone on to Glory. Please accept our deepest sympathy and condolences to you and your family. Keeping you in our prayers. Isabelle Famble, Paul and Jacob Dawkins
