Lisa and family, so sorry for your loss. I pray for strength for you and your family to get through this time of grief.
Lisa, So sorry to hear about your Mom. I hope you will find some happiness knowing that she is now at peace and in a good place. I know she will be missed by all who knew her. Remember the good times.
I love Gloria. She was an amazing woman and an inspiration to all of us at Clelian Center. She loved everyone and helped to take care of those who needed the most help. In her difficult times she would ask me “am I going to be alright?”
Well Gloria is finally Gloria is in the arms of her Lord and Savior surrounded by her loved ones.
Gloias children deserve so much credit for always being there for her in good and challenging times. She could always count on you. It certainly hard to say goodby to her but you should have no regrets. You are a wonderful family.
May God bless you all. You will remain in my prayers. Now we have Gloria to represent us in heaven. I wonder if she will say to God “what the hell”.
