When Gloria lived in Alturas she was all of our moms. Loved going to the ranch with everyone. She made the best scrambled eggs. Not just eggs but all the stuff she put in them. She was awesome. Always put up with all of us when we just showed up. We stoled signs from town and made her put them up at the ranch. She just laughed and told us she was gonna get in trouble but I hope she never did. I will miss her laughter and everything about her. Our love goes out to all the children and grandchildren. We love you and are always here for you. Only one thing that I can say about this is that she is with Paul again and I know he is so happy to have her in heaven with her.

One way to get a smile from Gloria was to mention her children. No matter what you did, she was so proud and loved all of you. It's always hard to lose a parent and we wish we could talk to them one more time, but it's never too late. I'm sure she will hear you. God Bless you and your families.
