Gramma Gloria, you are so loved and will be remembered for years and years to come.

I have fond memories of my sisters and I coming over to visit; of us sitting in your kitchen with Mom and Gramma Pat (and your beloved Precious, RIP), telling you how school is going and reminiscing about when we were little little kids. We would ask you about the newspaper clippings you had on your fridge. And you would always let us have a strawberry candy out of the candy jar on the counter. As many as we wanted!

We will miss you Gramma! My birthday twin, 12/29, Capricorn Queenies!

Love, Bobbi
