• Mrs. Gloria it was a pleasure knowing u.! But God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. Love you always. Mr. Ronnie your family is in my prayers. Stay strong…

Hot pan, garlic, onion, olive oil.
She hums a song while noodles come to a boil.
In all the world, there's nothing like feeding her man
Ronnie loved it, don't you understand,
Her dad taught her what is good from the soil,
Nothing is earned, if not through much toil
And this is how I come to remember
The lady whose laugh is so loud, yet so tender.
She has my heart as I have hers, forever.

Ronnie and Family,
Gloria was such a wonderful person to anyone she came in contact with. She had such spirit and charisma. I am so honored that I knew her over the years. She was truly a jewel. I can not imagine what it must feel like to lose your best friend, soul mate and love of your life. My thoughts are with you during these difficult times.
There is an Irish saying “Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal”. That is so true your love for Gloria and your memories can never be erased.

My Aunt Gigi was an amazing woman, there was no one like her. I will miss her, especially the way she always cried when she was happy about something. I'll never forget how great of a person she was and I hope one day to be at least half the woman she was. I love you and I'll see you again one day.

My sincere and deepest sympathy to Ronnie and family. We will miss you so much Ms. Glo - now you can stop saying "SORRY" even when you did not do anything wrong you were always apologizing. You are an inspiration to all of us. We know you as a hard knox supervisor, but for the past year you have been a hard knox human. We have seen you at you best, worst and last and at this time I would like to say you are my inspiration of what a "STRONG WOMAN IS" I miss you and you will live in our hearts forever.

Gloria,
Life is so unpredictable... I walked into your life as a new employee...little did we know that 5 short years later, we would be here at this point... I want to let you know that I consider you a very dear friend...I will always remember and cherish our time together. We had many times of sharing laughter, tears & many days of heart warming talks together. My life is so much richer for having known you. May you always feel peace and love in God's Kingdom. Ronnie, if you need anything, feel free to call on my husband & I.
