My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. To say this, it was a joy working for her at the Brunswick Job Corps Center, many years ago. I can recall she would never call me by my first name, it would be "Banks/Sapelo" with a laughter of sunshine. She will be missed.
Dear Brandi, Zack and Family, We love you and are praying for God's peace and comfort. You, Zack and Family are and will always be a part of our family. Your Mom have her wings and God has his arms wrapped around her and cradled in his heart.

When visiting Brunswick throughout the years, every time I saw Ms. Gladys i told her she was the prettiest girl in Brunswick, she would humbly smile. The last time I visited BWK I was able to tell her that again at Essie Sheffield's house July 4,2024. I gave her flowers while she could smell them. Offering my deepest condolences to Zach, Brandi and family.
Gladys was always supportive and kind to me. She was a public servant whose service for others is exemplary. I will never forget the example she set for us. I have much gratitude for her in that. My condolences for her extended family and friends. Much love.
Mr Zach, Brandi and family, I am so very sorry for your loss. Ms Lyde will always be remembered for touching so many lives and leaving such great legacy.
