Gloria was absolutely one of a kind. She had a heart of gold and a laugh that was so infectious, you didn’t even have to know what she was laughing about, you just laughed right along with her. She was that friend that everybody claimed was one of their closest, longest or best friends. I can’t imagine that Gloria ever crossed the path of a person who would ever say they didn’t care for her. You just couldn’t help but love her.
My prayers are with all of Gloria’s family but also with all the rest of us who will miss her right along with Clayton and the rest of her family.
God bless you Gloria. You were a ray of sunshine. I love you, you crazy lunk.
