Gloria, you will forever be my best neighbor! I will always remember how welcoming  you were to us into your home and family! You always provided a listening ear, shoulder to cry on, the best Mexican food I ever put in my mouth, friendship, and I can not forget the Cranberry Sauce that refilled the container mysteriously! I miss you, give thanks for your life and your family! 
I love you! 

My Aunt Gloria was a very amazing woman with a heart the size of Texas. 
There were no problems she couldn’t find a solution for, and there was no one that ever left her home not feeling better about their situation, or hungry either. She always made sure there was  food  aplenty.  She was a rockstar in the kitchen!
I loved her for her selfless ways. Taking care of my grandparents, making sure they made their doctor and dental appointments, and grocery runs. After her father passed away, she took in her mom, my grandma, and took the best care of her, until she was called to Heaven. 
But most of all, she got me through the hardest days of my life.  My last days with my mom, fighting her own cancer battle. I was so lost without my mom. No one to call me practically everyday to see how I was doing, and what was going on at work?  No movie dates or lunches.  And no one to plan my birthday, because I didn’t care. Aunt Glo and my sisters helped me get back on my feet, and care about celebrating with family again. 
I’m glad you’re not suffering anymore. And in my heart I know you’re with my mom, being sisters again, and with your brothers and parents preparing for all of us to meet you later.  It’s not the final goodbye, it’s I’ll see y’all later, and I’ll bring a good appetizer recipe to share at the table.



Her smile shined right through her eyes and her laughter could light up any room, she was a storm to be reckoned with when she was unhappy because she had the biggest heart and cared more than anyone I know.  She had the most giving spirit and never ending love for her family. Her presence was warm and inviting and people were drawn to her like the embers of a fire on a cold night...so fitting that we all called her "Glo". I will love her always, we all will, rest now dear Aunt Glo you are in our thoughts and fond memories forever!

This is just one of the MANY good times we had together.  :-)   I actually taught her something on this day we cooked together.  I am going to miss you, Aunt Glo.  I will think of you always when I look around my house and see the many things you made for my family.   LOVE YOU!

Met Gloria last year loved her kindness, loved to hear about her mom n how close she was with her n how she took care of her while she was preparing her delicious Spanish Rice. My sister, brother n mom spent a good hour alone with her n it was wonderful. She was a beautiful person. May she Rest In Peace.  My heartfelt sympathy to all my wonderful cousins. Love you all.  ❤️

I’ll never forget Gloria’s wonderful laugh. My heart goes out to all those she left behind. 

Love,
-Nini
