It will not be the same to ride by the corner of your street going that you will not be there. My Mom (Mable Bell) loved Gloria so much. My Mom said that she will miss the phone calls and taken dinners to her on sunday. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. We will pray for each of you in this time of this great loss. Mable Bell, Lin, Pat, Jim and wife Cheryl. To the family we would like to keep in touch - our e-mail address is [email protected].
God is in control now and you know that your Mom is in a better place and your dad. If we can do anything please let us know. GOD LOVES YOU AND SO DO WE,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
