I didn't get to be around Gloria much over the years except for stopping by a family get together and I remember being in a bible study with her years ago. She seemed to be the quietest of the bunch. It just may have been because her voice wouldn't carry enough to get louder that the rest of you! LOL...I remember her as being full of godly wisdom, she had such a sweet spirit, and it was evident that she loved the Lord! What a blessing she must have been to all of you! I'm praying for you all...
