We were very good Friends since High School and until Gloria passed away. ,Kansas ,Missouri

I will remember being in different Hospital's at the same time with you. It was also for cancer. Gloria always told me she loved life and would fight all the way. But, I guess you were so tired and you couldn't fight it any longer. We will be Good Friend's forever.

I only met Gloria during a hard time in hospice with the loss of my daughter, but she stepped in like no no one else. So much love and caring from one individual is amazing! She was one of the most caring person I have ever met in my life! I feel the loss for your family! I feel the loss with you and my prayers are with you.

Gloria was a second mom to me. I loved her and I will miss her very much! She was a warrior and a person I looked up to so much. She loved good music, company and food with good friends, and always her family. I so loved her soft steps and soft spoken ways, and I know my children, Juliana Oliver, Lily Morataya & Selvin Morataya (who always called her grandma Gloria), will greatly miss her and miss visiting her to talk or pick honeysuckle from the backyard. All Christmas’s & holidays will be forever changed with her loss. I would like to thank Gloria for always pushing me and believing in me.
