I just recently learned of Gloria's passing and my heart goes out to her family. She was the kindest, most gentle soul I have ever met. She will be missed dearly, but have comfort in knowing that she now walks with God.

Kim, Karen & Lori, It broke my heart to hear this tragic news. This is a familiar pain that I know all too well. Let me just say, Ms. Gloria was one of the sweetest people I have ever known. She was always kind to me. It has been a pleasure and a priviledge to have her as my extended family. Just remember that earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. Cast your cares upon the Lord and He will sustain you. I love you all and I will keep you all in my prayers.
