Neighborhood Network
"...What YOU can do for YOUR Neighborhood"
Dearest Neighbor and Stakeholder,
Another true community pillar has passed. Gladys Gill, the internal backbone of True Light Church at 73rd & Maryland, has succumbed after a long battle with cancer.
She was an old fashioned pillar, reserved, but strongly dedicated to church and the surrounding community. She had strong community knowledge & connections and flexed herself, her schedule to accommodate NEIGHBORS. I know because she helped foster our block club and neighborhood organization into existence. Graceful and patient under fire and wise far beyond her humble appearance, she now joins the pantheon of the greats of community / church service volunteers in our humble African American history, having set one of the best examples for others who aspire to continue the tradition. Her worth to the community in one word - Priceless!
May she rest in peace...
