Statement from Mayor Brandy J. Flanagan
In recent weeks, our Gladewater community has faced the heartbreaking loss of several beloved individuals- devoted community servants, proud graduates of GISD, and cherished citizens. These losses weigh heavily on our hearts, especially as we enter a season meant to be filled with joy and togetherness.
On behalf of the City of Gladewater and the City Council, I want to extend my deepest condolences to the families and loved ones who are grieving. Please know you are not alone; your community mourns with you and holds you in prayer during this difficult time.
As we move through this Christmas season, I encourage everyone in Gladewater to honor the legacy of those we’ve lost by embracing the values they embodied- love, service, and unity. Let us come together, offer support to one another, and find hope in the spirit of Christmas, which reminds us of light in times of darkness.
May peace and comfort surround all who are grieving, and may Gladewater’s strength and faith guide us forward.
Sincerely,
Brandy J. Flanagan
Mayor of Gladewater
