My heart goes out to my beautiful nieces Barbie and Laurie. Your mom was one of the kindest and most thoughtful souls I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. She will be greatly missed by all who ever knew her. Although it’s been many, many years since I’ve enjoyed the pleasure of her company, I will still cherish all of the memories we made so long ago. Rest in peace, dear lady.

Gloria was such a huge sweetheart. No matter how bad things were, she had a smile on her face. I met her when she started to work at the old Custer County Resthome, as a cook. She was a great cook! RIP Gloria

To the family of Gloria, take with you the comfort of knowing she is free now. You have a truly special angel on your shoulder now. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
