Gladys was my mom away from mom when I arrived in NJ in 1996—welcoming me with an open heart, arms, and home. She never held back, whether it was servings of ropa vieja or love. When my late wife Patricia arrived, she embraced her just the same—offering motherly care, wisdom, and warmth. She even sewed Mateo’s baby blanket from fabric she and Patricia picked out together. Her love and presence will be deeply missed. The boys and I send our heartfelt condolences.
