Gloria and I first met at Lackland Air Force Base in 1977. Later we again worked together at Wilford Hall Medical Center. No one was more fun than Gloria. No matter what we were doing, she made it a memorable occasion. Eight years ago, I moved just down the street from Gloria. We rarely missed an Open House, Estate Sale, or garage sale. We also often shopped and went to lunch in new family owned restaurants in the area. We had so many new adventures planned for the future, when the world got back to normal. Somehow I don't think anything will ever be quite normal again with her passing, but I am so glad that I had her for a friend for 43 years. You have earned a rest, Gloria. Love, Glenda

Gloria,

I am still in shock that you are gone my friend. I had just seen you and we hung a couple of weeks before you left us. I will miss our visits and going over and watching TV while we ate a danish and drank coffee. You are up in heaven with G money now. I will miss you immensely. Rest in peace my dear friend. All my love, Tonie

I first met Gloria as Tina's aunt around 1985. Gloria was very happy, outgoing and she was close to her family and friends. She loved and enjoyed life. Gloria was always willing to help others. I enjoyed her humor and funny jokes very much.
She was very generous and enjoyed giving from her heart.
She stayed close to God as she always prayed daily and attended prayer meetings.
My deepest condolences to Tina and all her family.
Gloria is a tremendous loss for us on earth but she now has finish worldly life and gone Home to begin her eternal life with God.
Gloria, may you rest in peace.
