Granny I will miss you so much! I could always count on you to go shopping with me (you could definitely out-shop me!). Who will I call when I have a bad day or need to "tattle" or "gripe" about my momma?? (fun times). I will miss your cooking and your quilts....and banana fritters. It's a good thing we taught my husband how to make banana fritters bc I cannot live without them! Tell Paw we love and miss him! I hope y'all are dancing in heaven together. I can remember our Friday nights eating roast beef po boys. Saturday mornings, I would be sad that you had to go to work but excited to make Paw bring me to walmart. Paw always brought you coffee in bed and it melted my heart. I can't believe you are gone. My heart is warm knowing that you are with your mom, sister, and your husband. My life is complete knowing that you got to meet Madden and that you love him so much. Madden loves you and cannot wait to receive his red rider bebe gun for christmas from you.
Granny, please watch over us always. I can't believe you are gone.I love you so much!! We all miss you!!!
WITH ALL OF OUR LOVE!!!
Glen, Toni, and Madden Sins

Thoughts and prayers from our family to yours. I feel blessed to have met this beautiful lady recently. My father (her 1st cousin, Dr. Robert Blereau) asked me to look her up when we moved to Madisonville this summer. I wish we could have had more time together before God brought her home.

I knew Gloria from Bright Hopes Quilting and so enjoyed visiting with her and listening to all of her wonderful stories. She was a beautiful woman inside and out, and she will be missed. Prayers to her family.
