Gloria grew up in the 10th ward and remained there until her passing. She had many friends and friends who are considered family to us all. They took the journey with Gloria through life and the last 5 years of cancer. You made her smile and laugh and continuing living. You treated her with respect and dignity and love. Myself, Dan and my family can’t thank you enough.
Gloria loved her family. She absolutely loved when we could facetime Josh and Michelle. She thought it was so fascinating and that we could see them. It meant the world to her. She was able to spend 7 years with Aberdeen and 2 years with Ireland. She was Aunt Gloria, who played dress up, tea parties, bouncing on beds, playing in the swimming pool and sneaking them things that they weren’t supposed to have. They brought her so much happiness and love. What a blessing!
