I can remember all the fun days we had together. Gloria was my Dad's Cousin (my 2nd Cousin), but if YOU saw them YOU would think she was more “his Sister.” My Dad Loved Gloria very much. I remember as children driving down old 75 which is now I believe about 4 lanes wide, asking my DAD, are we going to stop at Gloria's on the way. As children WE LOVED IT. The adults would do all their gabbing and us kids would run up and down outside playing. When we heard we had to leave WE begin to moan, not already!!! When I hear that Song "G,L, O, R, I, A (from my generation) I will always get that little kick. It brings a SMILE TO MY FACE, I will think of OUR GLORIA. Even though I have been in California all these years, Gloria and I still communicated. She mastered FB and would always note when You posted something. She was one funny lady and could throw a line faster then any comedian. I will miss "HER" Dearly. Lastly, I know "MY DAD" was there to greet "Gloria" when she strolled into Heaven, I know he was waiting for her... ~Cheryl~
