Gloria was one of the sweetest ladies I have ever known. So sorry to hear of her death. Her boys are the same age as my children. Loved to hear her play the piano. She was the best. May God be with each member of her family in the months ahead without her. Love you all.

There are no words to convey all that this lady meant to me and my family. She was one of a kind and will never be forgotten.

Gloria meant so much to Victoria Baptist Church for the many years she played piano for our services and choir. She was such a delight to work with and got along so well with everyone! Her playing was heavenly and I am sure she is in heaven now playing those lovely songs for our Lord and Savior!

A dear person. So sorry we didn't stay in close contact. Always thought we'd have time to get together. So I'm sad about your passing. But I know you're in Heaven, playing upbeat on a piano and enjoying your Mom and Dad. Hugs and ❤️ Love. Joan
