My Aunt Gloria was so much fun!! The many stories we've always shared with family and friends will continue on through the generations. I already enjoy telling my sons about their enthusiastic "Taylor" side of the family.
How much fun heaven must be now!!
My love and prayers to all she's touched especially Uncle Hugh, Jesse and Steve.

Gloria was an angel on earth and a blessing to be around. She always opened her heart and her home to those who wanted to be close to her. I have learned many things from her, but most of all I have learned that we must live our lives with laughter and love for others.
There are no words to express the loss felt and how much we will all miss Gloria, but there is promise that we will be reunited in the next life and spend our days in joy and happiness.

Until then I will miss you my dear cousin.

Love Jim
