Not sure what to say?

Gloria was a wonder and it was fun to know her. I´ve got several items that she made and they are treasures. When I put the Christmas items up in December, I always marvel at her talent. She was a woman full of sparkle. Laura, I´m sending love to you, Brian and Gabriel.

Laura, sending you and your family hugs and peace during this time. Laura you were an amazing daughter and I know your mom had the best of care. Bhavna

I first met Gloria and Jack at a party at Laura's house. Both were spunky and full of stories and jokes and life! Gloria was devoted to Anna (their golden retriever of many years), and she was able to watch her grandson Gabriel grow up. Later in life, I played card games in Gloria's house, then visited her a few times in Pinecrest,and drove her home from Laura's parties a few times before she became too frail to visit. I will miss Gloria but now she is with Jack and Anna.

The first time we met she named me Little Anna and became fast friends I also tried to to see her age on her drivers license and got caught...lol..

Laura, Brian and Gabriel , you are in our thoughts and prayers during this time as you grieve your beloved mom and grandmother. Remembering your mom as a beautiful lady with a vibrant personality and so talented! God bless you all, With love The Buie family ( Caroline, Bart, Brad and Brooks)

Dear Laura, Brian, Gabriel and Chris- our hearts are very sad to hear Gloria has passed. Katherine, Josh and I will always have happy thoughts of Thanksgivings together and having Gloria teach us domino´s and card games and lots of smiles and great hugs! Deepest sympathy and prayers for strength at this difficult time.

To all three of you our deepest sympathies I remember meeting your mother on several occasions and just thinking how cute and fun she was. I know how much she loved you and appreciated all you all did for her. She´s probably dancing in heaven with your father right now.

My deepest condolences to you Laura. I consider myself honored to have met her a couple of times. She was always radiant and a true lady. I know you all will miss her. Hugs

Dear Laura, Brian and Gabriel, I always had so much fun with Gloria and relished her sense of humor and verve. She was like the EverReady Bunny to me and I always appreciated speaking with her on the phone and her sweet cards. You have my sincere sympathy and my heartfelt prayers for comfort and peace. Love, Connie
