Kinyon, I'm sorry to learn that your mom has passed away. I'm keeping you and your family in my prayers. May God offer you strength and comfort during a time I know is difficult. Wendy

There are no words of comfort that can soothe the heart; no thoughts of sympathy that will ease the pains of loss; but we can only send from within the soul our connection with the family of Gloria through the loving fingers of Jesus - In prayer that the Lord's strength and solace rest upon your family.
