Hi Mom,
I can't believe it's been nine years. How life has changed without you being here? Kids are grown. You'd be so proud of them. Miss you championing us all on, but we're learning to make our way. Sorry, I don't come and visit enough, but you are always in my heart.
Love Always,

Miss you. Please tell dad how much I miss him and the void that he felt when you left is now with me because of his absence. I miss him dearly.
I am trying so hard to pick up the pieces and move on but I feel stuck. This broken heart of mine seems to keep me staggering.
Our family has not been the same since you left and it's really not remotely close without dad. We're all walking around here like wounded soldiers.
Abuela give me your strength to heal my heart and carry on. Help us all to heal and carry on.
I love you and dad so much
Until we meet again. Stay close my angel. Love you

I pray everyday I will awaken and this nightmare will be just a dream but reality continues to win out and the truth is the truth and not going anywhere. In my wildest imagination I never thought the pain of losing you mother would be so devastating. Boy was I naive. The clock continues to tick and I keep waiting for the pain to subside but as of yet there is no let up. Gloria your family misses you so much. Rest in peace mother. Your son
A Lot Of Love!!!

Ma, I knew this day would come but I was still not prepared. It took me by surprise; I know my brother and sister understand this all too well. I have tried to move through this as you had wanted but I find myself looking for your call. I miss you. I will continue on this journey without you, knowing that you're only a memory away. You gave us the strength necessary along with the joy needed to enjoy life. With all my love. Always, The youngest child - Tandrea

Prissy, Terrence and Tandrea et al …….Try not to be burdened with times of sorrow; I know Aunt Gloria would wish you all the sunshine of tomorrow. She would say that her life's been full, she has savored much, loving family, good friends, good times, and a loved one's touch. Her time with us seems all too brief; don't lengthen it with undue grief. Lift up your heart and know that God wanted her now; God set her free. My mother, Cunda named me after Aunt Gloria. We had a special bond. I'll miss our long talks and laughter....but good memories will suffice. I know Aunt Gloria, my mother and our other Cuban ancestors will always continue to be with us in spirit. Stand tall, Stay Strong

Prissy, Terrence y Tandrea y otros ... ... Trata de no cargar con tiempos de dolor;. sé tía Gloria le deseo a todos la luz del sol de la mañana. Ella decía que su vida ha sido plena, que ha disfrutado mucho de la familia, amor, buenos amigos, buenos momentos, y el tacto de un ser querido. Su tiempo con nosotros parece demasiado breve, no lo alargue con pena indebida. Levantemos el corazón y sé que Dios quería que ella ahora, Dios la liberó. Mi madre, mi Cunda el nombre de la tía Gloria. Hemos tenido un vínculo especial. Echaré de menos nuestras largas conversaciones y risas .... pero buenos recuerdos será suficiente. Sé que la tía Gloria, mi madre, la abuela Nena (Leopoldina) y nuestros antepasados cubanos otros siempre seguirá con nosotros en espíritu. Manténgase de pie alto y fuerte.

My Dear Aunt Gloria was a spunky, petite woman. She was a fighter. She was a proud Cuban-American. She drew on strength from God in raising her three children. She was beautiful. She was my mother's baby sister. Memories can be comforting. May God comfort my cousins - Terence, Terencia and Tandrea - with memories of their mother and also comfort the grandchildren. Love, Antoinette (Luthi)

Words can not express the feelings I have inside but the memories of your precious life instill hope of a better day. After eighty years,its still not enough. I find myself still begging my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ for just one more day or even an hour or minute of your time mother. I don't want to accept the truth nor can I handle it. Even tough I realize your in a better place but I can't help being selfish about my mother. Yes, I can finally say the pain is no more for you mother but just beginning for me. Mi madre es mi corazon y mi corazon es la cubano familia. In the end, I take the time to acknowledge my selfishness and apologize to you and my sisters' mother. I love you mother unconditionally for eternity. Terencio su hijo.

I'll miss you Aunt Gloria.....from your niece Denice.
Being around you when I was a little girl opened up the world & showed me the possibilities of the woman I could be.
You and my mother were strong
beautiful woman.
that carried with you
the same nurturing temperature and
strong ocean breezes that surround that beautiful island Cuba. And run in the veins of all your descendants.
Thank you..............
And to my cousins, Terance, Terancia, And Tandria you are always in my heart and especially at this time.
Love ya,

Remember
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

Gloria T. Nortez Lockhart: Fearless Adventuress. As far back as I can remember, and that’s a very long time, Great-Aunt Gloria made her own footprints in the snow. She was a force to be reckoned. Thriving during an era when women were supposed to be seen and not heard, she owned herself and set her own blueprint. Great-Aunt Gloria lived with the courage of her convictions and established her legacy as a trailblazer. The chronicles of her life and times bear a cornucopia of seedlings, fruits, flowers and trees. All who were privileged to know and be loved by her, have testimony borne from her independent, intelligent, elegant, determined, spiritual and fearless joie de vivre. As I honor her memory, two words remain emblazoned in my heart and spirit: “I can!” your loving great-niece, Andrea Long Taliaferro [© 2011] and family of Felicia Garcia Taliaferro. To be continued…..

TO MY DEAR LOCKHART COUSINS-TERRY,PRISSY AND TANNY AND THEIR FAMILIES, AND IN MEMORY OF MY AUNT GLORIA. I'M SO SORRY TO HEAR OF HER PASSING, BUT I HAVE FAITH THAT SHE IS NOW WITH OUR LORD, AND IN A BETTER PLACE THAN THE PAST YEARS OF PAIN AND SUFFERING. THE PRESENT PAIN OF YOUR LOSS OF YOUR MOM WILL BE REPLACED BY THE GOOD MEMORIES OF HER TIME ON EARTH WITH YOU. ALTHOUGH WE ARE MANY MILES APART, AUNT GLORIA AND MY COUSINS ARE FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS, AND THAT'S A BOND THAT MILES CANNOT ERASE.
LOVE FROM THE OLDEST DAUGHTER OF MOGONO AND LILLIAN NORTEZ, CYNTHIA NORTEZ-ALSTON, AND HUSBAND SAMUEL JOSEPH, AND SON RANDOLPH-MICHAEL ALSTON. GOD BLESS YOU. 2/20/2011

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.
