i am so sorry to hear that gladys has passed on. i really liked to talk to her while i was in her room cleaning,
My sympathies on the passing of your Mother. I was looking online for photos of the Weir Cove Dairy and your Mom’s memorial came up as a former employee. My grandfather, Joseph ‘Roy’ Guess worked at the dairy as well. If you have any remembrances of the dairy, please feel free to email me at bernardmartin@windstream.net. Again, my depest sympathy.
