We were four cousins in the class of '63, Delilah Bogard, Dorothy Jackson, Gloria Matthews ... and me. They've already ascended and today I am acutely aware, no two ways about it, the next cousin will be me! However, Corinthians 5:8 reminds us, absent of the body, present with the lord... NOTHING is better than that.
Glo' was always more serious than me, but I remember some really good laughs!
Rest well Cousin.
My sincere condolences to Albernice, Sonja, and all who knew and loved Gloria
