My sincere condolences to the Garnes family. Gloria was a classmate of mine. I remember her being very shy. I saw her at a few class reunions and noted that she wasn't as shy. I know she will be missed. God will grant you comfort and strength during this time in your life and will continue to bless you. Just call out to him.
