Not sure what to say?

Gloria was an awesome lady. Donald, Diane, and family, please accept my sincere condolences on your loss.

So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families

Teresa and Family: I have many fond memories of your mother. I will miss those tight hugs she always gave me when I came home to visit. She was one of a kind. I know she will be sorely missed. I am so sorry for your loss. Love, Kathy Hill Willetts

It is always an extremely sad time when we have to say goodbye to a close family member. My Aunt Glo was one of the really good people in this world. Like her other siblings, always bursting with energy and activity. My heart felt condolences go out to Debbie, Janet, Lee, Theresa, and Bubba for the loss of your wonderful Mother.
