Rest in Heaven Our Sweet Sassy Delta Dear. From you Sisters in the Shelby Area Interest Group. You will be sorely Missed! Delta Love
Death of a loved one is never easy, especially when it is a gem so precious as Gloria. She impressed me with her beautiful smile, wonderful personality, love for our sorority, and candidness when I first met her. I looked forward to our next encounter and was hurt to hear about her passing. I pray for comfort and healing to you Christopher and your entire family. May God grant you peace, and may the many memories that you shared live on in your hearts.

My sincere condolences to the family. Gloria was my line sister and my back, #47. Her spirit and her kind heart will be missed. Prayers ππ½ππ½β€οΈ
I met Gloria in the airport in 2018 and we had instant girlfriend chemistry. I was living in Birmingham and we spent time eating, laughing and talking. She gave great guidance and always had this magnetic energy. We were planning to connect in January. Few people in life leave such a lasting impression from an airport meeting. It was divine order. To the family, she spoke often of you. May you find a peace that surpasses all understanding.
To my other Sisterπ. May God guide your family through this transition. Sometimes words just are not enough. This is one of those times. My Sis Gloria was always there with a beautiful smile and words of support. Deborah and I are already missing her. While our family misses her, God needs her. Our Love to your Love dear Sis
Your other Brother and Sister Bruce and Deborah
So very sorry to learn of Gloria' transition. Having known her for nearly twenty-five years, we share in the sadness of having to wait until it's "our turn" before we can see her beautiful smile and personality again. We pray that God strengthens the Family during this difficult time, and that He comforts us all in the fact that we will indeed see her again! π
Sincerely, Lonnie and Melba Smith

I have come to know Gloria over the last two years. We were on a journey to Charter an additional Chapter in Shelby County Area under the direction of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated... . From the moment she walked in the door, and you know she can walk into a room " A Sassy Delta Dear" I knew I would like her... Her smile was so contagious and her can do attitude was refreshing. She will be sorely missed. I pray that the sweet memories brings the family Peace and Comfort during this time. Delta Love Sis, Brenda Carter Taylor, MD
