She was the best Mom and is so deeply missed. She was the mom that was always there to listen, give advice only if you asked for it, and never judge or ridicule. She taught each one of us to be good people by being a great example. She has left us way too early, we have so much more to experience together but she is at peace now, no more struggling and I am sure she is enjoying her family in heaven, that she missed Just as we are.
I Love You Mom

Gloria was the best friend I ever had and a blessing in my life. She had a great sense of humor and we shared a lot of fun times. She had a wonderful Christian spirit and gave unselfishly. I am sure she is singing with the angels. Prayers for Brian, Sherri, Missy, Amanda, the grandchildren and all of her other family members. ❤

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. So sadden by the loss of a great lady so glad I had the pleasure to meet her.
