Gloria will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. Gloria will be remembered for her love and generosity to others.

Von and Gloria were some of the first people we meet at Granbury Church of Christ. Both had such a genuine love for people and their hugs were the best. I was lucky enough to be one of the hundreds on her "card ministry" list. Seems like every time I opened my card she had written something personal to me that I needed to hear. Her talent for writing was so sincere and spirit filled.
She had such a wonderful personality and great sense of humor. For the first two-three months I thought their last name was "Bourbon" instead of Burba! We had a great laugh over that.
We are so sorry for her physical loss but so happy she is dancing with Von and they are together again.
