To family and friends:
Gloria and I go all the way back to elementary school. She helped plan our wedding fifty-eight years ago. We talked candidly and unfiltered every September, our birth month, about the reflections in the mirror and unnecessary changes. There is much to smile about as I travel down memory lane.
I am sure there will be a loud echo from the class of 1963 as I intentionally say, "Thanks for the memories."
May God grant His mercy and grace to each of us for such a time as this.
RIPππ½ππ½ Love you!!ππ½β€οΈπ
To the bereaved family. I send my sincere condolences. May God keep you and be with you during this time of bereavement.

Deepest Condolences to the Family. As a high school classmate of Gloria, I will always remember her intelligence and spunk. May God comfort and embrace the Family now and in the difficult days ahead... Soror S. J. Cordell-Robinson, Fredericksburg VA
You always knew exactly where stood with Gloria. She spoke her mind and did not care if you agreed with her or not When I came back to Rocky Mount from College She told me I was now to old to still be calling her Miss Gloria and we became fast friends. She will be missed and my prayers out to her family
A force of nature. Full of energy and spunk and a brain bigger and better than many could accept. Nothing but a positive force for me...thank you Gloria for challenging all of us.
With Deepest Sympathy
We extend our heartfelt condolences on the passing of your beloved mother. May her memory bring you comfort and peace in the days ahead.
With love and prayers, The Joyner Family
