God's Blessings to Harold & Hope Ann, Todd, & Bruce & their families. We all miss them when they pass onto God's world where they are at peace. We will all join together one day with Love, Peace, and free from all sickness this world has and we have endured. Our time comes and we are all going to join Gloria and reunite all the family and friends. Thoughts of knowing that time does come is a comfort. Gloria has been the support and loving person to a lot of people and her family. We will all miss her here on earth but our thoughts of her will never diminish.

It's a joy to know that Gloria is on her knees shouting out with joy, 'Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty!"
No longer clothed in a perishable body, Gloria has been raised imperishable, and thru out eternity she will be in the presence of the Almighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Wonderful Counselor, the Prince of Peace, The Savior, The Comforter, - well, we get the picture (as much as we can from this side of Heaven).
Gloria is with God, only because God, thru His Son Jesus, lived a peerfect human life (from God's point of view)died for her sins, and she by faith believes (present tense), lived by this faith (in her earthly portion of her life), and has now entered in everlasting life with God!
Praise God from Whom ALL blessings flow!
