I'll never forget the summer I spent living with Momoo in Holly Lake. During those three months, I watched my favorite Chicago Bulls win a title, I learned to shoot a basketball and how to kayak, I was the store clerk for the lakeside store… selling bait and responsible for the register, cleanup, and opening/closing. I had my first summer romance and first kiss. All of which was made possible and even encouraged by Momoo. She was the one who got me the job, rooted with me as we watched the games, let me use her golf cart as my summer car. She fed me "the healthiest" meals of my life. And yes, she set up the chance for the granddaughter of her friends to meet me one day while I was working… She was that person who sometimes worked invisibly to make sure my life was full. When I'm sad about her passing, I think on those days and it makes me smile. – Aaron Kaka

My family was blessed to meet Mrs. Gladys about nine years ago when my sons (then in elementary school) were giving a piano recital at the assisted living residence where Mrs. Gladys lived. She asked my middle son if he would like to see the kitten in her room–it was a battery-powered kitten. That began our friendship with her. For some years, while my sons took piano lessons at a home nearby, we would often drop by to see Mrs. Gladys. She was always upbeat and positive–encouraging my sons in their piano playing. I remember she used to like to have her bulletin board in the hall by her room door decorated along with the seasons. She was so kind to remember my sons' birthdays–when she played Bingo, she would tuck away one of her prizes and pass it on if one of them had a birthday. In later years, when my sons were older (and Mrs. Gladys was, too)–my family would come periodically and do a Sunday morning service for the residents. Mrs. Gladys was always so supportive. I remember she really liked the hymn, "Trust and Obey." Thinking of that hymn reminds me of her faith and the peace she had in following Jesus. It was such a gift for my family to know Mrs. Gladys–she was an inspiration to us! Shari and Steve Blodgett, and sons, Thomas, Michael and Andrew

Gladys (Momoo) was my sweet and caring grandmother! I will miss her greatly! She lived a great and long life. She reached a milestone (100 years) that most people won't be able to reach. There are a lot of memories of her that I cherish but the years spent at Holly Lake Ranch will be always have a special place in our hearts! – Aimee Lehman
