Wow! I can hardly believe it's been 9 years! Though we lived miles apart, I would talk to Gloria every day. So now, every day is a day that I miss my dear friend. I love you, Gloria.

On this anniversary of your Homegoing, the memories of you are still strong and the love and friendship you gave to so many of us are deeply missed. I still cant look at a teddybear without remembering all the wonderful things you taught us along the your joy and compassion for everyone you met. Im sure I will have no trouble finding you in heaven - I know that laugh anywhere! In fond memories of you and your wonderful family, Bev (BooBoo). I miss you

I can only remember her smiling face and laugh. When My sister and I would spend the night with her, it was always the most fun. We would wake and pick through all of the flavored teas she had. To this day, I still buy tea like that. I miss and love you Auntie Glo.

She was my nanny when I was a baby and she was the most wonderful woman in the world. I had the privilege of knowing her as I grew up, and even though we lost touch as I got older, I never forgot her and the loving woman that she was. I wish I could have reconnected with her before she passed, and I will always miss her.

Aunt Glo...its Boots. You have always held a special place in my heart. I lost track of the times you would tell me how you would hum and pat my back to me while trying to put me to sleep and as I was going to sleep I'd return the favor. You adored all of us (nieces and nephews) as if we were your own, you showed us unconditional love. You gave the best hugs and great advice. I'll miss holidays with you the most, you were great at hosting! I learned a lot from you. I can still remember you saying "I took care of you, now it's your turn" and when I was able to I was right there for you. I'd do it all again, I love you and miss you. I will always have your voice mail messages to comfort me (they really do help =).

I wish to convey my deepest condolences to all the loved ones of my friend; her death causes us great sadness because she was a very special person.
We have lost something precious. I am grateful for the very fact she was gift given to my family. We are blessed to have had such beautiful soul in our lives. The world was privileged to have such heavenly guest even if it was for a short while.
There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor, Gloria, Darlene and I have shared the most beautiful sounds in the world. Hearty laughter. It was our way of life together many mornings noon's and night. I never forget who Gloria taught me to make sweet rolls amd the Ice Cream Socials, Thanksgivings in the Community Room and the stories we shared. Let us be thankful for the gift she left us.
Sometimes crying or laughing are the only options left, and laughing feels better right now. But the tears keep falling.

My dearest aunt Glo. We talked just a few weeks ago and as always, we laughed the whole time. I remember you always smiling and joking with my sister and I as kids. You use to give use those different flavored teas. I still drink them to this day. Your laugh and the infectious happiness you provided, will be missed by all. God knows I miss them already. Enjoy your well deserved rest. Please watch over us all.

To the Taylor and Tourse Families,
Words cannot express the shock I had when I received the news. Gloria LOVED life. She loved the Lord, her family, her teddy bears, and her arts and crafts. I remember going to the house and Aisha, Carlene and Ariel would play with the teddy bears. She was very talented and could make anything. Aisha still has everything that her Aunt Gloria ever made for her and has now passed them on to her daughter.
Even though it's been a while since I spoke with her, I always thought about her on December 2nd. Gloria had a big heart and a big smile. She will truly be missed by all!
Know that you are all in my prayers!

Aunt Gloria -
Words cannot express how much you will be missed! It's hard to believe this is real and as much as I would love to have you back God wanted you more! I have such great memories of you... To name a few...That beautiful big smile showing all your pearly whites. Lol! The times we came to visit and I stood in awe of your bear room as you told me about each bear while we sipped on hot chocolate with cinnamon sticks (who knew!). The packages you sent me (including an 'h' on my name - loved it!) for college just to show you were thinking of me and the fabulous decor you put together for my wedding...The balloon arch and trees were awesome! You were SO talented and gifted. You were always so patient, loving and protective of your nieces and nephews. You made it your mission to ensure Ralph Jr and I knew you and I'm forever grateful to God that you did! I will cherish every sweet memory I have of you. Great times I'll never forget. Rest in paradise... Your life left an imprint that even death cannot remove! Love you! Until we meet again...

There are few people who enter our lives that have the impact of Gloria. Some call it an "old soul", the love & warmth, humor, artistry and compassion was well beyond her years. Thank you Gloria for passing thru my life.

We will always love you Gloria. We never remember what we have until its gone. I am so glad I had a chance to tell you I love days before you passed. I know you will have a special family reunion with all that have gone before us. Tell my mom hello (Dot). I added a photo that Charmaine sent to me a couple of days ago of the two of you. RIP dear cousin. Love to Aunt Ruth and the family. May God give you strength during this time. Love to all always, Dorinda

My dear friend Glo -
Words will never be enough to express the love and gratitude I feel having you in my life! All those crazy dinners we threw for our friends (and teachers!),the laughs, good times and bad times we walked each other through, not to mention the healing tears. ! You (and not to forget your wonderful loving family) came into my life when I dearly needed saving - thank you for always being there for me and teaching me that God is Just and to have faith and forgiveness. You will always have a special place in my heart that can never be filled. Light up the Heavens with that smile and LAUGH! - we will hear you!
Love you, Glo! Bev (BooBoo!)

Memories!
Remembering all of the long talks that we had.
Remembering the days and nights when we cried, laughed and cried some more but we made it through (I told you that we would).
Remembering meeting at Dunkin Donuts for coffee.
Remembering when we would split $5.00 because we had each other's back.
Even though we had not talked in a while I will always have your back!
Memories!
Rest in peace my dear friend!

I don't know how I'm going to go on without you. I will always have the good times that we shared to reflect back on. We always had so much fun whether it was shopping having lunch baking cooking or just sitting watching TV. I'm going to miss all of these things that we did together, But I always remember your beautiful smile that could light up a room and your infectious laugh. I'll always have you in my heart and I'll always hear you saying Hi Gailee with that big smile on your face. I'm going to miss you and I love you with all my heart ♡
