Gloria married my father when I was 16. She was always a kind and gracious lady. I will always remember her with a smile on her face and the warmth of her personality.

Aunt Gloria was a true Christian woman and I loved and respected dearly. I’m truly at a loss for words because there are so many wonderful ways to describe her. Daneen, I pray the Lord gives you and the rest of your family comfort and peace, I love you and I hope you know she will be missed by more people than you can even imagine. She was a true shining light in this world.
Aunt Gloria took up her cross and traveled the country sharing the love of Jesus. I have so many wonderful memories of her over the years. I always loved to hear Uncle Dan call her name as it came out “Glory.” She was such a kind, wonderful person that undoubtly heard, “Well done, thy good and faithful servant” when Jesus greeted her last Sunday morning. Although she or I neither really liked our middle name, I am honored to share it with her. Daneen, I love you and will have you in my thoughts and prayers.
