Grama,
We Know Youre Much Better now,
You'll Always Be With Us and Around Us. I Hope In My Lifetime, I Can Live To Be Half As Great Of A Woman As You Were And Be Able To Raise A Family As Strongly As You Have, Being Strong Never Seemed To Be a Hard Thing For You To Conquer and Backing Down Was Never An Option. In My Life I Hope To Have Someone Look up To and Admire Me, The Way I Admire You. I Love You So Much, And You'll Always Be With Us.

I had the joy of working with Gloria a few times over the past few years. She always greeted me with a smile no matter how she felt. Her family was always so attentive to her, she was truly blessed to have you all.
