My heart is so sad to hear of Gloria’s passing. My late husband Sid was thrilled to know another Jackson, Alabama hometown person was living in Amite. They had fond memories when they saw each other. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Dear Donnie and Bess, I am saddened to hear of your mom’s passing. I loved seeing her at church and on days when I volunteered and she was in the nursery. I will always remember her sweet smile! You were blessed to have her in your life.
