My grandmother, was always kind and caring. The memory's that stand out were when we went up north and played dice games together, that usually meant it was raining but I was glad to be inside with you and grandpa. Even though you're no longer here, I hold you in my heart and feel stronger because of you. Rest peacefully, Grandma.

I miss my wife more than words can describe. She was the love of my life and I love her so very much. Every day with her was a gift. I fell in love with her the first day I met her and was blessed that she chose me.

Words cannot express the pain of losing your last aunt. I am blessed to have spent as much time with her as time allowed. Her kindness, laugh and smile will never be forgotten. She touched so many in different ways. In honor of Glorie, I have planted a succulent from her garden, a special thanks to Terry. Everyday I watch it grow, and will always have a piece of her with me. Love and miss you Aunt Glorie

Glorie- Where do I start. You were an amazing aunt. I will always cherish all the conversations we had. I will always remember when we worked together and you would always make me that special lunch. You helped me with advice that I needed. I will cherish all the messages you had sent me, I will never delete them. We could always count on you anytime. You and I always had that special bond with each other and I will always cherish it. Your death has hit me pretty hard and I am still in shock. But I know you are in a better place.We lost an amazing women here on earth but heaven gained a beautiful angel! I will always miss and love you! <3

Gloria is one of the best grandmas the world could have offered. She was kind and funny and you could always count on her when needed. Me and so many people cared about her, loved her, and will continue to keep her in our thoughts. I love her so much and know that she´s still with me everyday. Thank you for always being there for me, it was a privilege and a blessing to have had you as my grandmother.

When Bud first introduced me to Gloria she told him he had hit the jackpot. We laughed about that often over the years but truth be told I was really the one who hit the jackpot.

Gloria accepted me into her family and allowed me to love her son.

She gave me support and love when my mother passed away and made sure I never felt alone every day since.

She held my hand in the delivery room the day our son, Travis, was born and told me how beautiful he was.

She has been a pillar of strength for me and guided me through so many of life´s ups and downs.

I am so blessed to have been part of her life for the last 24 years. I only pray I can do her proud going forward.

Gloria, you will be missed beyond words. I love you.

Travis

Gloria was the best Grandmother you could ever ask for. If you needed her she was there, If you needed someone to talk to she was there. I will always keep her in my thoughts day in and day out and never be scared to talk to her and ask her for guidance whenever I need to.
I love you and thanks for being the best grandma ever!

Gloria, my mother, was my rock. She was the light in this world. We talked every day about anything and everything. I will miss her immensely. She was everything to me and was the best mom ever. I love you forever.

I just found out about this and am heartbroken. I loved Gloria from the time I was a little kid. She always treated me like one of her own. Sad how extended family always seems to drift apart as we get older and life takes us down our own paths. Condolences to the you guys and I will miss you Gloria.
