Gloria was a remarkable woman of strength and courage. Not only was she my cousin, she was like a sister and best friend all rolled up into one. Over the many years we shared so many things and never had a cross word with each other. We always ended our conversations in person or on the phone with "I Love You". I will truly miss her and there is a void in my heart that will never be filled. Her passing has left my world a little darker, knowing she is no longer in it. She will always be loved and remembered in my heart forever. Rest in peace cuz until we meet again, for I loved you from day one...

I am sorry to hear about Gloria. She and her husband were good friends of my wife and me. We shared several Angelos dinners and NNHS class reunions before ill health started taking its toll on all of us. My wife also grew up in the deep creek area of Newport News and knew Gloria well. May the strength of our Lord and Savior ease the pain the the family now feels.
