Dear Burch, Diane and family, Your Mother was a very special person to me and she loved you all very much. She has told me many stories over the years of her life and family. My grandson, Cameron said to me just yesterday, "Mimi what are we going to do without Gloria?" Who will give me advice now?" We will all miss her. So glad she could join us for holiday dinners. I will keep you all in my prayers, Love and Blessings, Jo

Burch, Diana and Family - May you find comfort at this difficult time in knowing how very much Gloria loved you! I am so thankful that Gloria and I were able to share time together three weeks before she passed away! May the Lord bless you today and always! Jackie
