A statement of appreciation was written as follows for Michael Gladden Jr.:
IN APPRECIATION
We cannot thank you as we would
For all you've done for us:
We cannot find the words we should
To tell you filtingly.
Your kindness has meant so much
That only one we know
Can e'er repay a service such
As this one here below.
Therefore to Him we delegte
What we cannot express
May God repay you-early, late.
For all your kindliness.
The Gladden Family
