Dear Family,
Gloria was my Aunt, friend and I loved her dearly. We lost track of each other many years ago, but I cherish her memory. You were so blessed to have her for all these many years. She touched my life at a time when I needed her more than she needed me. May God bless you all.

Gloria was a dear friend and the big sister I never had. She was the true "southern lady". Her passing has left a huge void in my life.
To her family, you are all in my prayers. God Bless You.

I have such happy memories of Gloria! I worked with her for several years, and she quickly became more than just a co-worker. Gloria's sense of humor and outlook on life were unique, and I will always remember her. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Gloria was a fun person. She loved to laugh and enjoyed life. Gloria was a sharing friend to all. She was excited to share her vacation experiences [Myrtle Beach; Bahamas]. She was strong willed with her treatments against her illness. Now she is at peace. My thoughts are with you during this time. Sincerely,

When you meet Gloria, you made a friend for life. She was not an acquaintence. She loved to party and really loved life in general. Family and friends meant everything to her. She will be greatly missed. She fought the good fight and won as she is now at peace. Don't mourn for her but remember the good memories that you shared with her.
Love, Pat, Sylvia, Ashley and Allie
