Gloria you are missed and cherished by many including myself.
I had the pleasure of knowing you because of your son.
He remains to be a part of my life. He's more like a brother.
You did good honey.
Rest in peace.

Glor, You are tremendeously missed already! Unfortunately, we do not know how valued we are to our family until we pass. Glor, you were the glue that held this family together in so many ways. Even after 21 yrs. I still refer to you as my Mother-In-Law when speaking about you. We've remained close throughout the years via email and Facebook and I will miss our little chats and I miss you deeply. Until we meet again.... Love you, Shari, Ray, Justin & Ryan
