I’ll never forget this night. Marisa and I enjoyed bringing you real trees into your home. Seeing you and Mr. Reid this happy made my heart beat more safe and sound. I miss you both so much. I love you Glo. Forever.

It's another year gone
Remembering Gloria today and always
Always in our thoughts, remembering the good times and her lovely smile, which brightened up any room.
Was always there for me when her granddaughter (my daughter) was born.
Having fun with her in St. Raphael Estate
(Lovett Way)
Gone, but will never ever be forgotten.
Sleep In Peace Gloria xx

I love you mama. I hope you lived a beautiful and well traveled and loved life. You are greatly missed here on Earth amongst your loved ones.
Now your sister Norma has joined you. You are all now together. I am happy for that. May you be at peace and joyous love on this one year celebration of being with our almighty father. Forever in my soul Gloria I will call upon your name.

Alright mama your earthly vessel is now with the one you love most. I hope you were watching your service from above. From FL to England and back again you have left an impact on so many of us. Those that weren’t able to attend, watched from a distance. Gloria your light was bigger than most sunrises and sunsets I’ve seen. Now you are with our Father. He called you home. I don’t think any of us left behind will forget speaking of you because we all loved you so! Thank you for giving us your light. I think I speak for all of us that our World dimmed in your wake. Please watch over us all. Soar mama. It’s your time to fly. 
I love you Gloria Veronica Reid. I will never stop loving you!!

I knew Gloria from our childhood days at school. She was a kind and compassionate friend.
Even when my daughter got married she sent her a love gift.  That gift experienced some problems getting it to her but she persevered.

She is my second childhood friend in the space of a month  that have passed whom we had shared such lovely memories. 

To the family especially her daughter is that we are praying  for you and the Lord comfort and keep you in this time of need.

I shall surely miss her. she kept in touched inspite of the distance and her physical challenges but she is resting peaceful without pain and sickness. 
May God's perpetual light shine on her and her soul rest in peace.

My dearest Gloria. 

Your memory is a keepsake that I have always and will continue to treasure and hold in my heart.  

I engrave your voice, teachings and beautiful smile to my memory, and seek comfort knowing that you are on your journey to the Almighty God, and to be with hubby Cliff, and catch up with old family and friends. Psst -   tell Cliff I said hello and thank you for always ensuring I always reached home safely 🤗. R.I.E.P 🕊🙏💕🌼🕊

Mum it has been a blessing knowing you from U.K. to Florida you never forget me.  Always smiling and laughing.  I always loved to hear when I call to speak with you Nav, would say mum it’s Bev and you would always say which Bev my Bev.  Mum you was a fighter and you have fought the good fight and run the course, it’s now time to take your rest.  No more suffering and no more pain it’s time to enjoy your heavenly home with your father, dancing and laughing and singing with the angels.  You had a good heart and God sees it.  Your work on earth is now complete, so enjoy your heavenly home with the father. I love you and miss your sweet smile until we meet again . 🙏🏾🙏🏾🥰 xxx

Not all big sisters fall in the category of my sister Gloria. I love you and will always cherish the love we have for each other. 
You emigrated to the U.K. which must have been difficult for you but you never forgot those you left behind. You would send our family packages, and there was always something for me that I seemed to have needed. Things like shoes, bath salts, and clothing. I can't recall an argument or even a tiny fight with you which speaks to the level of respect and love we had for each other. When I couldn't be there for our Mama, you were, which I have always appreciated. I'll miss our phone calls and brief text messages to check in on each other's family. 

I love you always,

Norma


This particular photo of my sister Gloria, is from a visit to Ontario Canada in 2008 , when her family, and some of our closest friends, traveled to attend my daughter's wedding.  Gloria,and family, traveled on four separate occasions to visit with me and my children. 

Hey Grandma G, missing you so much, your wise words and grand teachings, me Leanne and the kids will always hold you so dear to our hearts, you and grandad's memories will forever be embedded in us. May you both now be happy together again up in heaven with God's angels, I will see you again someday, so until that day....we love you, tell Grandad I said hi xx

Dearest Gloria I am so glad we spoke before you decided to fly with the Angels on high. I have shared so many beautiful memories together with you and Cliff which will last a lifetime. I will miss our little chats and laughter. Sleep well and soar in heaven. God bless your beautiful soul.


To my mother- 

This is the most monumental loss of my life. I prayed to God every night this day wouldn’t come. I will never forget you. I will speak your name until my last breath. I know you are with the angels. And that is what brings me the only peace through this difficult time. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for being you. I love you madly. 
Your Sammy 

Condolences to our family, Grandma you will be greatly missed, we are comforted to know you are in the arms of the lord reunited with the love of your life. We will miss you dearly. 

Gloria, I was saddened when Jordene told me you had passed.
I have nothing but brilliant memories of you.
When Jordene was born on the 28th May 1982 you started your grandmother role, caring, loving and spending all the time you had, with us.
If Jordene ever needed anything, I didnt have to ask, you always gave without me asking you.
I remember all the times you would drive us back to my grans house in Sudbury. We never got on the bus to go home.
Even though Jordene had a dad, your son, you played grandma and dad too . We never went without.
Since you left England, we didnt speak every day, but communicated where possible, whether it be when you spoke to Jords while i was with her or send each other love. 
You always looked after Jordene, even from thousands of miles away and I'm so glad you had that special bond until now.
I will never forget you. I will always remember the lovely, pretty grandma you were, with the lovely straight hair, beautiful face and heart.
You will be greatly missed and I wish I had the opportunity to visit you in Miami.
That doesn't matter though, because you will always have a special place in my heart, ALWAYS.
SLEEP IN ETERNAL PEACE, Gloria 
One of best mother-in-laws's in the world.


Dear grandma, You will be deeply missed I miss hearing your voice seeing your face all the good times me and the family shared me and the boys truly miss you and we love you so much we know you are with grandpa and you both are watching over us.💖👼🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️

My Beautiful Grandma, my 'Granny Gloria'. I am going to miss you deeply. We had a bond that NOBODY nor NOTHING could break not even the airmiles between us. I have such early memories of your love for me and stories from my mum and dad that trigger more too. The times spent with you were never in vain, from teaching me how to properly fold a fitted sheet at the age of 12 to the crazy times you'd wash my hair and I'd freak all the way out because I hated the water in my face. Lol! We would write to eachother up until the early 2000's before email took over and I'm so glad that I kept every letter. Real treasures to my heart. You hated when I took your picture, yet I always caught your pretty smile or you laughing, telling me to go away or to stop it! Lol! You introduced me to a world of travel and opportunities and for that I am grateful and will pass on this simple rule to my children. Im so happy that Shaheed and Inaaya got to meet you and alhamdillilah you got to see my Rakheem. Grandma I love you and I could go on and on about my memories and love for you. I know you knew how much I loved you, how much we all did. 
Grandma I pray for you a wide and peaceful resting place and may Allah grant you to the highest ranks of Paradise come the day of judgement inshaAllah.

I Love You my 'Granny Gloria'

Grandma, we all love and miss you.
But we can be comforted by the thought that you are now with grandad once again. xx
