To My Auntie Gloria,
Thank You for remembering my birthday every year. Thank You for remembering my children's birthday every year. Thank You for being there when your younger sister Joan
my Mom went to be with God. Thank You for all the laugh's at the countless holiday dinner's,Christmas,Thanksgivings,
Weddings.
Thank You for just coming over for dinner after my Mom died. We all love you Kala,Conor,Mary and I will never forget you Auntie.
God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So He put his arms around you
And whispered "come to me"
With tearful eyes we watched you
and saw you pass away.
Anth though we loved you dearly
We could not make you stay
A golden heart stopped beating
hard-working loving hands at rest
And although our hearts are broken
We know,God knows best.

Just heard about Gloria's passing. I am so sorry.
"Her love lives on
in the lives she touched
with her gentle caring way.
In the words she spoke,
in the hearts she warmed,
in the joy she brought each day."
May she rest in peace.
