Uncle Leo, Jess, Amy, and Michelle, family, and friends

I am sooo sorry to hear about your great loss. She will always be remebered for being truly one of God's angels. In our lives we are lucky if we get to meet one person that is truly like no other. One person that comes into a dark room and illuminates it with thier love, kindness, and generosity. Well Aunt Gloria was one of those people. I beleive she was one of God's special angels. She was put on earth to make this hectic and trying world we live in a little easier to bear. She touched the hearts of everyone she came in contact with. She was one of a kind.I cant even try to imagine what it would be like to loose a mother or a sister. All I can do is say is my heart goes out to you and if you ever need anything just call. A mother is something truely special, the one person you can talk about all your problems with. As sister is soo special, its the one person you spend your who life with, the one who knows you best, the one you love the most because shes part of you. Her spirit and great legacy will live on forever in the hearts and lives of people that knew and loved her. Everyone wants that one best friend, the one you can talk to anytime, laugh with, and and share every precious day with. Well that is what my dad found in Aunt Gloria.He and aunt Gloria knew each other in a way nobody else could, the way best friends did. i love you daddy!And to Uncle Leo, everyone searches for that perfect spouse. You know, the one that you can tell anything in the world to, the one that you can share your triumphs and you failures with. The one who will always be there to pick you up when you fall down. Well Aunt Gloria was that spouse. God dosent say we can have his angels forever, he merely lets us borrow them for a while and takes them when he feels they are ready. But dont worry you'll see her again. And she'll be keepin a spot for yah up in heaven!!! I'll love you forever aunt Gloria. May you shine in the hearts of everyone who loved you as much as we did. Not only has a person left us, but a wife, mother, daughter, sister, and a best friend. Forever and for always yours--- Dana

Words will never end the pain but the memories will make the time easier. Remember the person she was and how she made a difference in so many lives that came her way. Gloria was a blessing and a gift from God and she was loved and cherished by so, so many and she returned that love 2 fold. Leo, just remember that your family loves you and will always be there for you & the girls. All my love.

From the dawn of your birth

To the sunset of your death

I honour you.



From the missions you completed

To your duties left undone

I honour you.



From the seasons of your being

Through the cycle of your life

I honour you.



From your time beyond the veil

Lie your entrance back again

May the angels support you

May my healing love reach you

From this moment until the end of time

So Mote It Be.
