It is always an extremely sad time when we have to say goodbye to a close family member. My Aunt Glo was one of the really good people in this world. Like her other siblings, always bursting with energy and activity. My heart felt condolences go out to Debbie, Janet, Lee, Theresa, and Bubba for the loss of your wonderful Mother.
