  2. Gloria was a very special person and it was a blessing to have known her and spend time with her. We will miss her very much. 

  3. My feelings are all over the place. I realized today that my mom is gone and I have no one to turn to anymore. The only person who has ever stood up for me and the only person who believe in me is gone. I'll see you soon mom. Please watch over the kids they miss you so much already. I wish you were here so I could see you one more time.

  4. Janet & Family,
    I'm so sorry and saddened at Gloria's passing. She was a light in my life and was always my "crazy Aunt Gloria". I will miss her dearly & I know you will too. But I know mom & all of the sisters, and even Marshall were right there to welcome her in. That is some comfort. She will be deeply and truly missed by me & mine. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. Love to you all.

  5. My heart goes out to you and your family.  Gloria was such a good friend to my mom (Pru) and Pat, and she was the highlight of so many of their stories in FL.  She continued that friendship with us kids.  Very sorry for your loss.  She will be missed.

  6. I am so thankful that I got to spend some time with Aunt Gloria before she passed away. She was loved by many even though she didn't think her family loved her. She was so talented and a genuinely nice person. You will be missed Aunt Gloria even though I didn't get to see you often. At least we kept in touch. Rest in peace Aunt Gloria. Much love, Linda, your sister Jewel's daughter.
