Gladys Royer was genealogist, friend, and "cousin" to so many of us. She was always there with her wonderful and well-documented files on many German Baptist Brethren families when one needed help in researching one's own ancestors. She always gave of herself and her own research in a quiet and helpful behind-the-scenes way. I am saddened to hear of her passing and will miss the dialogue we had over the years. Dwayne Wrightsman

this saddens me greatly too. She was an incredible help to me and I do look forward to meeting her Spirit someday.
