Gloria E. Barner

One cannot think about the family farm without bringing up images of Aunt Gloria sharing recollections from the past while others listened in.
I have a lot of pleasant memories of your mom sitting with the gentle
to and fro sway of the front porch swing or as she relaxed comfortably on the 1950´s (or maybe older) hand built rocking chair, setting herself by the "wood warmed" kitchen stove. These were her chosen spots for the telling of several of those stories.
There have been countless pictures passed around and family folklore repeated by my parents, full of Barner history, including your mom and dad and so many happy times shared.

I will miss Aunt Gloria. She was a special lady.

While growing up, Aunt Gloria was always one who could share with us, the nephews and nieces, who was who and what was what and where...etc. She was in many ways our narrator for cherishing what would become future memories. One day I am sure she will once again, in Heaven, be giving us a guided tour of all those who have gone "on before us." Thank you Lord for giving us such a legend as Aunt Gloria, whose memory we'll cherish until we see her again, when the "circle will be unbroken, by and by Lord, by and by..." Bye for now.

A wonderful person and a favorite aunt.
