I will miss our times together and our talks Gloria. All the birthdays and holidays(carrot cakes and many candles), the grilled chicken salads and lets not forget Monday night tacos. We finally found a taco that actually had meat in it. :) ...You always had neat stories to tell and specially you and the girls and how you all basically lived at the pool. And let's not get started on todays events, huh! I love how you were up with the times and often said you were glad you were the age you were because you would soon be outta this crazy world. There wasn't enough time to tell all 90 years of stories, but am truly blessed to hear the ones you did share. The children will miss you so....Isra'ela will miss cooking with you, especially on Thanksgiving. You made the best Thanksgiving dinner ever. I wish i would have come to learn cooking from you. I loved the wisdom you shared and will miss that the most and i guess i can say all the goofy giggles and looks you and Dad shared. I actually was blessed to get that on film(pic) and it just brings my heart joy to see the friendship/relationship you had with my Dad.
You lived a full life Gloria and did good. I am so glad and blessed you were put in my path. Thank you for our laughs and time well spent. BTW: yes, my hair turned out well with the baking soda and water paste. :)

Until we meet again-
give my Mother a hug for me , for we are all family
As you are in the arms of Jesus.
