Gloria was my neighbors or over 20 years but she felt more like family.
It would warm my heart every time we would chat across the street and visit a little....and she would always sign off with calling me "Love."
♡♡♡♡♡
You have been and will be miss Gloria.

Mom, you were the most beautiful woman, inside and out. You taught your children love and compassion for others and we are better people because of you. You always put others needs before your own and showed us how important and beautiful the simple things in life are. You were the rock of our family and I will forever be indebted to you for your love and my amazing childhood. You will be forever the guiding light in my heart. I loved you dearly and always will. Rest In Peace my beautiful Mama. ❤❤❤

Gloria was our beautiful sister-in-law. I stayed with her and Pete for a year when they lived in Chicago. She was one beautiful lady, but one fact was that you could not see her until she had her makeup on!! We have many wonderful memories of her. We love her and will miss her and she will always have a special place in our heart. Rip ~ Love you to the moon and back. Thank you for the memories. RIP.
With much love, Loren and Dee Nelson
