"Auntie Gloria Jean" Written by Claudine

Our hearts grew quiet on that March day,
When Heaven softly called you away.
The world feels different, the air not the same,
Since God spoke gently and called your name.

Auntie Gloria Jean, so loving and kind,
A sweeter spirit was hard to find.
Your laughter carried a warm, bright light,
That made hard days feel a little more right.

You gave your love so freely and true,
In the little things you would say and do.
A listening ear, a caring embrace,
A steady kindness no time can erase.

Though tears may fall and sorrow appear,
Your memory walks beside us here.
For love like yours does not depart,
It lives forever within the heart.

And while we grieve, we also believe
God welcomed you with open arms that evening. 
Where pain is gone and peace remains,
And Heaven forever speaks your name.

So rest now, Auntie Gloria Jean,
Beyond the veil where life is serene.


Until the day we meet again,
You will always be my Auntie Gloria Jean. 💛
