Condolence: Dear Gladys, Terri and Cathy,
We were so sad to hear of your loss. As a player I used to always see you both in the stands. Supporting us and cheering us on. You were both so kind and generous with your praise. As Coaches Tom and I were so thrilled that you both took such an interest in our teams. I remember well, our trip to Hawaii. There you were in the stands in your Hawaiian shirts and lays around your neck screaming and supporting us all. Gladys on a very personal note, Tom and I would look at you two as role models. Your love for each other was so transparent. It was beautiful to see.
Take care and know that many of our former athletes have wanted me to reach out on all our behalfs. They cared very much for their biggest fan! Much love!
