Your mother was a wonderful person . I worked with her at Del Taco back in the 60’s .When she moved away I thought about her often. She just had a special way she treated people. I used to see Sandra and would always ask how she was doing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families. She was a Blessing
I worked with Gladys in Victorville Ca while we both worked at Del Taco. She was a very nice lady. Was so sorry to hear about her passing. Just know she is now in a better place and with your father!
I was just thinking about Gladys she was one of my grandma Donna’s friends. I loved visiting Gladys and Curtis when we came out to visit my grandma. It was a must. They very loving and kind. They very good to my son. I truly miss them they were like family to us. My grandma passed shortly after Gladys did.
